Mackinac Bridge Authority Auctioning Off More Pieces Of Bridge
The next round of stimulus checks should be making their way into your bank as soon as next week, and if you're loan-free and can afford to spend the money, why not spend it on a piece of Michigan history?
The Mackinac Bridge Authority is currently auctioning away some more of the original steel gratings from the bridge. The pieces are approximately 5 1/2 feet by 38 feet, and 5 inches deep, according to the Michigan Department of Transportations Facebook page.

There are currently five different original grates being auctioned off, which you can view here, and maybe even throw a bid in at here. The current highest bid sits at $810.00, and the lowest bid sits at $209.99 for some of the vintage deck grating.
With the current bidding prices, you could definitely use that next stimulus payment on a piece of Michigan history since 1957, and still have more leftover for maybe even a trip around Michigan, depending on the one you bid on of course.
You'll definitely impress your friends at your next get-together.
