Mackinac Bridge Authority

If you’ve got a Mackinac Bridge fan in the family, the Mackinac Bridge Authority (MBA) has anniversary posters, commemorative tokens, and medallions available for purchase by mail or in the authority’s administration building in St. Ignace.

“Admirers of the bridge who missed out on the first run of anniversary posters or didn’t know bridge tokens are still available have another opportunity to get these commemorative items,” said MBA Executive Secretary Bob Sweeney.

The authority reprinted the four poster designs from the bridge’s 50th anniversary due to popular demand. In 2007, the limited-quantity original posters (“Mighty Mac,” “Connecting Peninsulas,” “50th Logo,” and “Mackinac Bridge”) went quickly.

The posters are available in four designs, for $10 each or $30 for any combination of four. View Posters
