If you have Mackinac Bridge tokens, now is the time to use them. The Mackinac Bridge Authority announced Tuesday that due to dwindling demand, tokens will no longer be accepted at toll lanes starting on Sept. 10, 2019. The MBA said while tokens have long been part of the Mackinac Bridge crossing experience, very few have been redeemed for tolls in recent years. "Most customers still pay tolls with cash, MacPass cards, and increasingly with credit cards." You can still buy tokens, if you'd like to purcahse them for kepsakes.
