Own Part of Michigan’s Mackinac Bridge for Cheap
If you’ve always wanted to own a piece of the famed Mackinac Bridge in Michigan, now is your chance. The Mackinac Bridge Authority is selling small grating pieces from the Mighty Mac for $20 a piece, with a limit of three per customer.
Here’s the catch: Sales are in-person only. They happen at the office next to the bridge toll booths. So, if you’re hearing north for some vacation time, that would be a good time to snag this offer.
Pieces are roughly 5 inches by 11 inches or 5 inches by 8 inches. All of the pieces are sold “as is,” so expect to see some rust and even traces of lead paint. Also, due to the condition of the pieces, all customers must sign a liability disclaimer. Find more information via the Facebook post below.
I mean, it might seem kind of odd to want to buy a random piece of metal. But, I have fond memories of going up the bridge with my nana and pa as a child, so I feel like owning a piece of the bridge would be a nostalgic memento.
Update: Sold out. The Mackinac Bridge Authority is once again selling small grating pieces for sale in their offices....
