MDOT unveils special online media kit for 50th anniversary of Mackinac Bridge
The Michigan Department of Transportation _(MDOT) today announced that a new online media kit is available for the 50th anniversary celebration of the Mackinac Bridge. Media representatives can access information online at www.michigan.gov/mackinacbridge. Materials include: A list of 2007 Straits-area activities, bridge history, photographs, crossing statistics, a link to commemorative posters for purchase, and other 50th anniversary-related materials.
MDOT is partnering with the Michigan Department of History, Arts and Libraries to commemorate this historic milestone. Michigan residents (and others) are encouraged to join with Michigan History magazine as they pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Mackinac Bridge with a special issue. Available in July 2007, the expanded 96-page issue will be filled with stories about life before the bridge, the businessmen who bankrolled it, the fearless workers who built it, and one daring pilot who flew under it. All subscriptions paid for and received prior to July 1 will include this fantastic issue. For more information, go to www.michiganhistorymagazine.com or call 800-366-3703.
