About Mackinac Bridge

The Mackinac Bridge links Michigan's Lower and Upper Peninsulas across the Straits of Mackinac, where Lake Michigan meets Lake Huron, and is one of the longest suspension bridges in the world. Wind, fog and ice on the Straits change the view through the year, and high winds can slow or stop traffic on the bridge. These Mackinac Bridge webcams come from the Mackinac Bridge Authority, which operates the bridge.

Which Mackinac Bridge webcam to check first

Start with the main view of the towers and the deck for the weather on the Straits, then use the other cameras to check traffic and the water at either end. In winter, watch for ice building between the lakes.

Before you go to Mackinac Bridge

High winds can lead to escorted crossings or temporary closures for some vehicles. Check the Bridge Authority's traffic information and the National Weather Service forecast before you cross.
