Just watched the Big Mac Bridge on Discovery Channel, show called "Dirty Jobs" IT was very interesting and Mike was up real HIGH. Too high for me, but those folks who work on the bridge cannot be afraid of heights for sure!
The do one heck of a job on it! They have guts and glory for sure!
Mike was on the very top and when they put the light in. He said "and now we have to walk down." The other guy said "we can take the elevator." They obviously didn't tell him about that!! I have to give him credit for doing it. It was filmed around Memorial Day weekend. They said the Bridge was 50 years old.
That was nice to see something from Michigan on national television for a change!!!! Hope everyone had a chance to see it.
