No more refunds on Mackinac Bridge tokens after December 31

ST. IGNACE, MI— The Mackinac Bridge will stop refunding tokens after December 31 of this year.

Due to dwindling demand, the Mackinac Bridge Authority stopped accepting tokens at toll lanes in September of 2019. Interest in redeeming tokens has also diminished since then, and MBA officials believe less than 1 percent of all tokens issued remain in circulation.

Until December 31, customers can redeem bridge tokens at the MBA office at the north end of the Mackinac Bridge. Though many tokens were purchased for a much lower cost, they may be redeemed at the full price of $4 for the first 24 tokens and $1.50 per token thereafter.
