March Traffic Report
Kim Nowack, Bridge Director of the MBA, reported today that 239,551 vehicles crossed the Mackinac Bridge during the month of March compared to 230,852 in 2023.
For the month of March, traffic was up 3.8% and toll revenue was down 0.1% compared to last year.
While overall vehicle traffic was up, autos towing trailers were down almost 50% causing a slight reduction in revenue for March.
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 66-year-old National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
