Mackinac Bridge appointed a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark

Aug. 12, 2010 -- Michigan's iconic Mackinac Bridge was designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark today in a morning ceremony at Bridge View Park in St. Ignace involving members of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the Mackinac Bridge Authority (MBA) and MDOT. ASCE established its historic civil engineering designation program in 1964 to recognize and encourage preservation of landmarks, as well as promote historical awareness of civil engineering. To date, more than 200 projects worldwide have earned this prominent designation. The Mackinac Bridge is currently the third-longest suspension bridge in the world and the longest suspension bridge between anchorages in the Western Hemisphere.
