On November 1, 1957, traffic officially opened on the Mackinac
Bridge. That was the culmination of 70 years of talking and
dreaming about a bridge across
the Straits of Mackinac, of discouraging attempts for legislative
and congressional approval, of efforts to raise the funds, and
finally of a three-year construction program necessary for the
world's longest and costliest (to date) suspension bridge.
Michigan's greatest symbol is expertly maintained, fully funded,
and amazingly resilient to the many forces and factors of man and
nature that have failed to seriously affect its status as the lone
highway link between Michigan's two main peninsulas. The "miracle
bridge" at the Straits of Mackinac truly allows a view that
epitomizes the state motto of Michigan, Si quaeris peninsulam
amoenam, circumspice, or "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look
about you."
