The Mackinac Bridge

If you unraveled the two massive cables that hold up the Mackinac Bridge, you'd have enough wire to wrap around the Earth... twice.

This week, Cassidy is joined by Kim Nowack (Executive Director of the Mackinac Bridge) and James Lake (official spokesperson for the Mackinac Bridge), to tell the story of the longest suspension bridge in the Western Hemisphere. Tune in to hear about life before the bridge, life while building the bridge, and life after the bridge. Plus, learn about the history of the famous Mackinac Bridge Walk.
