Mackinac Bridge Authority

Robert J. Sweeney, Executive Secretary of the MBA, reported today that 262,751 vehicles crossed
the Mackinac Bridge during the month of November compared to 263,335 in 2017.
For the month of November, traffic is down 0.2% and fare revenue is down 0.4% compared to last
year.
The Mackinac Bridge Authority has scheduled a substantial amount of long-term preservation
work for the bridge over the next several years. These major efforts will ensure that the bridge
continues to remain structurally sound and provide a safe crossing for everyone.
The MBA’s sole source of funding is from tolls and fees collected at the Mackinac Bridge. All
revenue collected is used to maintain, operate, and protect the 61-year-old National Historic Civil
Engineering Landmark.
