ST. IGNACE, MI— Those who are participating in this year’s Mackinac Bridge Walk beginning from the St. Ignace side will have a new starting point.
The walk will begin from Bridge View Park on the west side of I-75 rather than at the Mackinac Bridge Authority administration building. MBA officials say as most participants who start in St. Ignace already park at Bridge View Park, starting the walk from that side will reduce the number of people crossing the interstate before the event begins. Participants who park on the east side of I-75 will now be guided across the road before and after walking the bridge.
Based on the success of the recent events, the MBA will again start the 2024 Bridge Walk from both St. Ignace and Mackinaw City, which eliminates the need for busing and offers additional options for participants.
A video, posted on the MBA website at www.MackinacBridge.org/Walk, explains the bridge walk schedule and the choices people have whether they start from the north or south end of the bridge.
