First proposed in 1884 by the Grand Traverse Herald it wasn't until 1954 that construction began on a bridge spanning the Straights between Lakes Michigan and Huron. Completed in 1957, the Mackinac Bridge has become a Michigan icon. This statue is located in Bridge View Park on the Upper Peninsula side of the bridge and is dedicated to the five men who died in the construction of Mackinac Bridge.

OH MY GOSH! How did I miss this and why did you not tell me? Andlook at you with the Topaz filters! "The Wall" is a spectacular find and the angle is just right. I want to come to see you and park right in front. Please be sure to let me know when you win something, I am so slow getting to all of the photos that you must help me out. CONGRATULATIONS.......Merna #9711453Merna L. Nobile October 02, 2011
