A shot of 45699 Galatea on the Denthead Viaduct on the Settle to Carlisle Railway. The light was fading fast in the evening so the lights are on in the carriages. There are many more bridges/viaducts on this section of railway in beautiful Yorkshire countryside.
The Mackinac Bridge is a suspension Bridge spanning the Straits of Mackinac and connect the Upper and Lower Peninsulas of the state of Michigan. Opened in 1957 the five mile long bridge known as the Big Mac is the 20th longest main span and the longest longest suspension bridge with two towers between anchorages in the Western Hemisphere. The bridge connects the city of St. Ignas on the north end with the village of Mackinaw City to the south. The height of the roadway at mid span is about 200 feet above the water. Height of the towers above the water is 552 feet and the max depth of the towers below water is 210 feet
The Mackinac annual bridge walk has been held every year over Labor day weekend Until 2018, school buses from local districts transported walkers from Mackinaw City to St. Ignace to begin the walk. Prior to 2017, two lanes of the bridge would remain open to public vehicle traffic; this policy was changed in 2017 to close the entire bridge to public vehicle traffic for the duration of the event. The Bridge Walk is the only day of the year that hikers can walk the bridge.
