In 2009, ASCE recognized the Mackinac Bridge as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark. The bridge, which opened in 1957, spans the Straits of Mackinac between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, connecting the Lower and Upper peninsulas of Michigan. At 8,614 feet (2,626 m), the Mackinac Bridge is still the longest suspension bridge between anchorages in the Western Hemisphere.
