ST. IGNACE, Mich. — Strong winds across Michigan have prompted travel restrictions across Mackinac Bridge on Wednesday.
The bridge’s official Twitter page says only passenger cars, vans and empty pickup trucks will be permitted to cross the bridge as wind speeds exceed 50 mph.
Motorists are advised to slow down to 20 mph and be ready to stop when driving up to the bridge. We’re told staff members will be present on either side of the bridge with additional instructions.
