Mackinac Bridge, Michigan - Cars Sometimes Go Flying off the Bridge

The Mackinac Bridge in Michigan is one of the longest suspension bridges in the world, spanning 26,372 feet over the Straits of Mackinac. While its length and height offer impressive views, the bridge's design and location make it prone to high winds, creating dangerous conditions for vehicles. The bridge has a reputation for cars occasionally going airborne due to wind gusts, adding to its fearsome reputation. It is a nice sight to see at least.

The long stretch of open roadway, combined with the bridge's tendency to sway, can be disorienting for drivers, making it a crossing that requires careful attention and a strong stomach.
