The bridge used to be part of US 27 if you run south from the bridge I-75 splits off to Detroit and 27 or 127 goes straight south through Lansing

The bridge sure made a difference crossing the straits, especially during deer hunting season! I remember a 9-hour wait for an available ferry. I've heard of much longer ones than that.

This was before I-75 came through, I think this was then US31. Ends at US2 just across the bridge. I-75 came through I think in 1963
