Also keep in mind that buyers do have to sign a "Hold Harmless agreement" because of lead paint and the structural condition of the grating.

Now if you'd like to own a piece of the bridge, but maybe not so huge, a few years back  The Mackinac Bridge Authority shared there were some smaller pieces of grate for sale at the administration office.
