Signs above the toll booths on the Mackinac Bridge welcoming motorists to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The bridge spans the Straits of Mackinac which separate Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. The suspension bridge opened in 1957 connects Michigan's Upper Peninsula and its Lower Peninsula and is also known as the 'Big Mac' or the 'Mighty Mac.' The bridge's main span stretches 8,614 feet making it the fourth longest suspension bridge in the world, though the total structure is about five miles long (26,372 feet) it is the 24th-longest main span in the world and the longest suspension bridge between anchorages in the Western Hemisphere. The toll bridge was designed by David B. Steinman and links the communities of Mackinaw City on the south with St. Ignace, Michigan on the north.
