2024 Mackinac bridge walk is days away

ST. IGNACE, Mich.-- The Mackinac Bridge is set to be closed Labor Day, Sept. 2, for the 2024 walk from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

For the safety and convenience of participants who start from the St. Ignace side, the walk will begin from Bridge View Park on the west side of I-75 rather than at the MBA administration building.

"If you're traveling in the Straits area Monday, we urge you to make your plans around this scheduled closure," said Mackinac Bridge Authority (MBA) Bridge Director Kim Nowack. 

Since walkers can start from either end of the bridge when they arrive, and due to the fact that there will be no buses available for transportation, participants must plan accordingly to ensure they end their walk on the same side of the bridge as their personal transportation.

The MBA does not provide any shuttle service after the walk and cannot guarantee outside shuttle services will be offered.

An informative video posted on the MBA website explains the bridge walk schedule and the choices people will have whether they start from the north or south ends of the bridge. You can have access to that video here
