Southwest Michigan Today: Tuesday June 12, 2018

Options unvieled for this year's Mackinac Bridge walk. Battle Creek and Kalamazoo both drop games on the baseball field. 

A video to showcase options for people walking this year’s Mackinac Bridge Walk has been released to the public. Walkers have three options for tackling the mighty Mac this year. You can cross and arrange for a ride back to the starting side, you can walk across and back, or you can walk halfway, and turn around to return to the side you started on. The Chief Executive Officer of the Mackinac Bridge Authority Bob Sweeney says like last year, the bridge will be closed to public traffic until the walk is over. He says by eliminating busing and allowing walkers to join until 11:30, more people should be able to participate. (WCMU)
