Over the Mackinac Bridge We Go /The Connection Between Peninsulas | Mighty Mack

The Mighty Mack is Michigan's connection between the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. Join us for a ride over the Mackinaw Bridge into the Lower Peninsula. Travel with us all the way from Hancock in the Keweenaw across the Upper Peninsula to the Mackinac Bridge. We head over the bridge to Ann Arbor where we find our way to the University of Michigan hospital. The drive from the Keweenaw to Ann Arbor is 550 miles and takes approximately 8.5 hours to get there. We spent a couple of nights at the motel located right in this gigantic hospital. Did some tests and then headed home. 

The trip back over the Mighty Mack went well. We put the Bridge Advisory channel on the radio where they give you information about the Mackinac Bridge. It is known as the "bridge that couldn't be built" because of the adversity that would be faced while it was being built. Construction kicked off in 1954 and opened in 1957. This bridge crosses five miles across the Straits of Mackinac. Many people fear crossing this massive bridge as the winds can be very high at times. There is an assistance program where someone will drive you over the bridge. 

I was a little four year old girl when I first crossed the Mackinac Bridge. We traveled with my Dad for work as my Dad's company was building parts of I-75. We crossed this bridge many times and every single time I would get the same excited butterflies in my stomach. I still get that same excitement. I still feel like that child filled with so much excitement. I love this big bridge and I have have so much pride knowing this beauty is in Michigan.
