Monthly Traffic Statistics

December Traffic Statistics

The Mackinac Bridge Authority (MBA), today announced that 205,959 vehicles crossed the Mackinac Bridge during the month of December, 2011, compared to 204,092 in 2010.

Compared to a year ago, December traffic went up nearly one percent (0.9%) and fare revenue fell 0.6%.

“We are encouraged that traffic is up for the first time in twelve months and cautiously optimistic that our State’s economy is rebounding”, said MBA Executive Secretary Robert J. Sweeney.

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 54-year-old National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
