Mackinac Bridge Tokens And Anniversary Posters Available

According to a press release, The Mackinac Bridge Authority (MBA) has anniversary posters, commemorative tokens, and medallions available for purchase by mail or in the authority’s administration building in St. Ignace.

"Admirers of the bridge who missed out on the first run of anniversary posters or didn't know bridge tokens are still available have another opportunity to get these commemorative items," said MBA Executive Secretary Bob Sweeney.

The authority reprinted the four poster designs from the bridge's 50th anniversary due to popular demand. In 2007, the limited-quantity original posters ("Mighty Mac," "Connecting Peninsulas," "50th Logo," and "Mackinac Bridge") went quickly.

The posters are available in four designs for $10 each or $30 for any combination of four. The designs are shown on the Mackinac Bridge website: www.mackinacbridge.org/mackinacbridge-posters-68/.
