Mackinac Bridge, World’s Largest Suspension Bridge (Michigan, USA)

Mackinac Bridge, World’s Largest Suspension Bridge (Michigan, USA)

It’s the postcard that says this is the longest suspension bridge.  Time has overtaken the claim, however.  Now, the Mackinac Bridge Authority says:  “The Mackinac Bridge is currently the fifth longest suspension bridge in the world. In 1998, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan became the longest with a total suspension of 12,826 feet. The Mackinac Bridge is the longest suspension bridge in the western hemisphere.”  Anyway, length is measured by the main span.  Unused card.  Grade: 1
