WEST MICHIGAN — A falling ice warning is in effect for the Mackinac Bridge following the weekend ice event across Northern Lower Michigan and the Upper Peninsula.
As a result of the falling ice potential, motorists should expect occasional closures of the Mackinac Bridge, as authorities deem it unsafe for crossing.
The Mackinac Bridge Authority updates its website with the latest conditions and impacts to drivers trying to cross the straits.
Chunks of ice as thick as 1.5 inches thick have fallen from the towers and cables. The bridge authority says it is the worst ice conditions ever seen since the bridge was built in the 1950's.
