Currently we are experiencing blowing snow in the Straits area. Due to limited visibility it is necessary to issue a warning to all motorists preparing to cross the Mackinac Bridge. In addition to limited visibility, the road surface may be slippery.

Motorists are instructed to reduce their speed to a maximum of 20 miles per hour, turn on your low-beam headlights, and exercise appropriate caution.

The Mackinac Bridge Authority is monitoring conditions at various points along the structure. Additional steps will be implemented if conditions change. If you are planning to travel to the Straits area, please tune to AM radio 530 or 1610 for updates.
