Mackinac Bridge Closed To Traffic Due To Ice Falling

(CBS DETROIT) - The Mackinac Bridge will stay closed to traffic due to ice falling from cables and towers.

MDOT officials say that while closing the bridge is inconvenient, the falling ice chunks provide dangerous conditions for drivers.

The bridge was closed at about 11 a.m. on Thursday, March 24, and remains closed.

There is currently no set time that the bridge will reopen.

Here is the latest MDOT update on the bridge closure:
