  • For many, crossing the Mackinac Bridge causes great anxiety. This weekend, if you are brave the bridge will be open to walkers from 6:30 to Noon on Labour Day, September 5th. You can walk from end to end, or beginning at either end you can walk to the middle and back again – but you have to be off the bridge by Noon, when the bridge opens to vehicular traffic again.
