Four commemorative posters are being sold by the Michigan Department of Transportation to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Mackinac Bridge.

Two of the posters are in a landscape format, with one poster in color and the other a black and white print. They are 30 inches wide by 12 inches tall and depict three photographs of the bridge. A third poster is a color photograph of the bridge taken at Bridge View Park in St. Ignace and features five historic photographs along the bottom of the 16-inch-wide by 30-inch-tall print. The fourth poster is the official celebration logo and is 15 inches wide by 30 inches tall.

The posters are $4 each through MDOT but will not be sold in stores. A $3.77 cost per poster is available to nonprofit organizations. The posters can be ordered by calling (517) 322-1676.
