ST. IGNACE, Mich. (AP) — Michigan residents can now buy 60-year-old grated metal pieces of the original Mackinac Bridge from an online auction as those sections of the bridge get cut away and replaced.
WPBN-TV reports that up until a year ago, workers had been taking the old bridge pieces to the scrap yard. Now residents who find value in the metal can buy the pieces from $270 to more than $1,500.
The Mackinac Bridge Authority says there aren’t many pieces currently left to buy, but it plans to begin another auction in the next couple of weeks.
