Mackinac Bridge Authority

Robert J. Sweeney, Executive Secretary of the MBA, reported today that 205,632 vehicles crossed the Mackinac Bridge during the month of December compared to 197,287 in 2016.

For the month of December, traffic is up 4.2% and fare revenue is up 3.2% 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 60-year-old National Historic Civil
Engineering Landmark.
