IMPORTANT SECURITY STATEMENT FROM THE MACKINAC BRIDGE AUTHORITY

Although, specifics cannot be discussed, the general public should rest assured that the Mackinac Bridge Authority (MBA) has a very comprehensive security plan in place. The MBA coordinates its security plan and procedures in collaboration with the Michigan State Police and the U.S. Coast Guard. Since Sept. 11, 2001, the MBA has dramatically increased security at the bridge and developed a very detailed plan for the Annual Bridge Walk. Assistance is provided from 13 law enforcement agencies during this high-profile event. “We believe our security procedures ensure the highest level of safety and provides a pleasurable experience for all participants (and travelers) that will cross the Mackinac Bridge during this event,” said MBA Administrator Bob Sweeney.###
