Mackinac Bridge

The Mackinac Bridge Authority is urging passage of SB 5313, making trespassing on the bridge a felony. The authority is opposing two bills that would let tractors and other farm equipment drive over the bridge without a permit.

A new bill is targeting trespassers on bridges, tunnels and other Michigan structures. Penalties would include a $2,500 fine and up to four years in jail.
