The waters that separate the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan are the Straits of Mackinac. This area connects Lake Michigan to the west and Lake Huron to the east. The Mackinac Bridge spans these straits and provides a vital link between the two peninsulas.
The Straits of Mackinac, a channel between Lake Huron and Lake Michigan.
The US state of Michigan is formed of two peninsulas. The "Lower Peninsula" extends north between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. The "Upper Peninsula" farther northwest extends between Lake Superior and Lake Michigan and the two peninsulas are separated by the Straits of Mackinac, near the conjunction of the three largest Great Lakes.
The Mackinac Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Straits of Mackinac, and connecting the Upper and Lower peninsulas of Michigan.Envisioned since the 1880s, the bridge was completed in 1957, only after many decades of struggle to begin construction. Designed by engineer David B. Steinman, the bridge connects the city of St. Ignace on the north end with the village of Mackinaw City on the south end.It is the third longest in total suspension in the world and the longest suspension bridge between land masses in the Western Hemisphere. The Mackinac Bridge carries Interstate 75 across the straits.
The suspension space between the two towers of the Mackinac Bridge, known as the main span, measures 3,800 feet (1,158 meters). This main span is one of the longest in the world and allows for the passage of large ships beneath the bridge. The total length of the bridge is approximately 26,372 feet (8,038 meters), connecting Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas.
The two parts of Michigan, known as the Upper Peninsula (U.P.) and the Lower Peninsula, are separated by the Straits of Mackinac. This narrow waterway connects Lake Huron and Lake Michigan and is spanned by the Mackinac Bridge. The bridge is a vital transportation link, allowing vehicles to travel between the two peninsulas. The geographical division creates distinct cultural and environmental differences between the two regions.
