Mighty Mac's mighty men By Ron Fonger, Flint Journal
Sperry and Gleason are two surviving ironworkers who will be honored Friday with the unveiling of a new collector coin by the state Department of Transportation. A ceremony at Bridge View Park in St. Ignace will salute all workers who helped build the bridge and mark the 50th anniversary of the start of construction. The bridge now bears about 4.5 million crossings annually.
'Every year the bridge is tested ... and (the inspectors) tell us they are amazed at the condition,' said William H. Gnodtke, chairman of the Mackinac Bridge Authority. 'I think that's a tribute to the workers.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:37 AM :: reference link ::
