Thousands Walk Across Mackinac Bridge

Pedestrians from all over Michigan walked across the Mackinac Bridge during the 62nd annual Labor Day Bridge Walk.

For the second year. the bridge was shut down from 6:30 a.m. until noon, allowing walkers to turn around at the center span or walk the entire bridge.

According to the Associated Press, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer joined those walkers crossing the nearly 5 mile long bridge that links Michigan's upper and lower peninsulas and crosses the Straits of Mackinac, which connects lakes Huron and Michigan.

Local organizers expected 20,000 to 30,000 people to make the trek between Mackinac City and St. Ignace.

I've always wanted to walk across the Mackinac Bridge because it has to be one of the most scenic views here in Michigan.
