Fifty years ago, on November 1, 1957 the Mackinac Bridge opened for business. Connecting our peninsulas, the Mighty Mac is five miles long, with a suspension bridge spanning 8,614 feet. The Mighty Mac is the third longest suspension bridge in the world.
If you can't get there to celebrate, check out these websites for a vicarious thrill.

New Traffic Information Website from MDOT
Great news for Michigan drivers--the Michigan Department of Transportation and the state Department of Information Technology have launched a website to provide traffic and road construction data to the public. The site will provide information about lane closures and various construction projects on state highways (M, I and US roads).
MI Drive has nifty features like MDOT's 2007 Construction Map; a search feature by regions, counties and routes; and links to gas prices and consumer protection information.
In Michigan there are two seasons: winter and road construction. Now, we have an internet resource to help us in the warm months.
