Bridge Over Straits
To Be Fabulous Link,
Modern World Wonder
Since May 7, this year, construe
.tion on the Mackinac Straits
Bridge has continued toward its
goal of completion by November
1, 1957. :
On that day, the bridge will be
opened to traffic,- and "With the
passing of tte first person from
Mackinaw City to St. Ignace, a 70*
year-old dream will become a
reality.   •'   ;      *.*'..
The- 2H,195  foot  structure  con-
insula, of tlie State will he the
longest of it's type in the world.
"When the .final steel beam is
shoved into place and the final
■rivet placed, an era will have passed, and many laborers will feel a
justifiable pride in having contributed a monument to the industrial
genius of our state. Many of these
men will die in the building of it,
many men died before their dream
began" to be realized. To all the
state will owe. a debt.
What are isome of the facts concerning the new bridge? The
Mackinac Bridge Authority has is-
*sued what lias grown into a veritable mountain of information about
the project, first things first, however: ;
How are they going to conquer
these difficulties? +
After much consultation and
blueprinting, it was decided that
the bridge should.be supported by
33 water-based piers, among them
some of the deepest and most massive ever built.
Two tower piers will support
huge cables on either side of the
main span. These will be the deepest used. Plans call for them to be
nectfng The"*-pper and Tower pen-1 founded at 195 feet below the sur-
What will! the. total cost be?
Total   construction   cost   is   80
million dollars.
What will the tolls be for crossing the bridge?
Approximately the same charged
for use of the present ferry.
Will there be- toll booths on both
ends of the bridge?
No, the authorities say, only on
the St, Ignace side.
Will there be ferry service after
the bridge is completed?
Yes, but not for motor vehicles.
Will there be bus transportation
on the bridge?
Yes, in all likelihood there will
be two regular bus services connecting the two terminal points.
Will there be railroad tracks on
the bridge?
No. -Railroad facilities wpuld
have made the cost of the bridge
too high, say authorities.
Will there be sidewalks on the
bridge ?
, -ys^.'Jhgtft -^l-Jut.Aese^Ide-
walks are not planned for use of
the general public. They ard planned for use of maintenance crews
and for drivers who have engine
trouble during the passage.
Will the State provide concessions on the bridge and approaches for food, drink and information
N service's,
tes.
Will there be traffic controls of
any kind?
. Yes. Speed zones and directional
controls will be instituted.
Will t*he bridge allow for passage
of ocean going liners under it?
Yes, say authorities, liners passing through from the St. Lawrence
Waterway Project will be able to
continue under the Bridge.
Will special lighting be used for
night traffic?
Yes.
What about communications on
the bridge? ■
There will be telephone communications to units along- the
length of the bridge. \
Just how long would it take a
person to cross the bridge?
Traveling at a speed of 50 miles
per hour, a person would'pass from
approach to approach in approximately six minutes. Walking, a per-]
son would make the trip in about
an hour. Ferry trips! averaged
about 30 minutes.
face on the southern end of the
Straits and at 190, feet on the
northern side.   '
The most massive piers will be
those for the anchorages, in which
the suspension cables will he em-
[bedded after passing over -the
cable rest piers. Foundation ol
these anchorage piers will be ISo
feet long and 115 feet ip. width.
The foundation piers will rise
above the water for distances
ranging in height from 16 feet for
those nearest-shore to 118 aiid one
half for the anchorages mentioned
above.
What will these under water supports be founded on?'
Of the "33 piers, all but 10 will
be founded directly on bed rock. 1
In the case of 10 that are not, huge
heavy steel "H-jglles;* will serve as
support-. *        .
Here js some idea of the amount
of labor and equipment that will
go and is going into the construction of the foundation alone.
Constrtuction of the 33 piers will
require 438,000* cubic yards of cement! This is enough cement to
lay approximately 135 miles of.
Standard, 22-foot highway.

How many vehicles ■will the
bridge accomodate?
A maximum of 6,000 cars per,
hour.
Will the bridge be open to traffic under all -weather conditions?
Rules governing the use of our
highways and limiting.' their use
would affect use of the bridge.      /
What -would happen if a boat
should crash into one of the tower
foimdMions of the bridge?
The boat would suffer severe
damage, comment the contractors
wryly.
* Will there be a movement of the
bridge?
Slight of course, but none that a
person crossing would notice.
A project such, as Mackinac
Straits Bridge construction is one
'of the most difficult for engineers
to undertake.

construction is m u c, h like an

Security Pay
Figures Given
Monthly social security payments amounting to $21,721 -were
paid to 5?1 persons in C^re-County at the end of last year, William
E. LaRock, manager of the Traverse City social, security office, re-
pmectnfla-y-r':+_-:   ■        •   ■-'--
This is an increase of 21 per
cent in ,a period of a year. For the
entire country, the number of persons receiving benefits increased
19 per cent in the Same period.
Retired workers continued to be
the largest group-of beneficiaries,
Mr. LaRock said. Last December
289 persons in this group received
$14,044.
These local figures for old-age
insurance payments also reflect a
national trend, Mr. LaRock pointed
out. In the country as a whole,
more than six million persons were
receiving benefit payments at the
end, of 1953, almost a million more
than in December 1952.
"The payment each, month of
more than $21,721 .to 531 persons
in this county is of real significance to the economic -well-being
of the community at large," Mr.
LaRock said, "and in many cases
represents the greatest or oniy
source of Income to the individual
concerned." / '
The figures given include only
actual payments made in December 1953, Mr. LaRock indicated.
Other persons in the county are
eligible for benefits, but were nq|
paid in December because their
earnings .exceeded the* permitted
$75 and 'resulted in the temporary
suspension of payments.
September Set
