Bridging the Straits: The Story of Mighty Mac : Wayne State University Press : 9780814318126 : 0814318126 : 28 Feb 1986 : The project?the longest total suspension bridge in the world?would span the Starits of Mackinac where winds exceed eighty miles an hour and ice windrows reach a height of forty feet. It would connect two largely rural communities with a combined population of less than four thousand and would require the largest bond issue ever proposed for the construction of a bridge. Little wonder that some Wall Street investors labeled the proposition as ludicrous. Nonetheless, the Mackinac Bridge became a reality.
