In Print
On June 25, 1958, to coincide with the 1958 celebration of the November, 1957 opening, the US Postal Service (USPS) released a 3¢ Commemorative stamp featuring the recently completed bridge. It was entitled "Connecting the Peninsulas of Michigan" and 107,195,200 copies were issued. The U.S. Postal Service again honored the Mackinac Bridge as the subject of its 2010 Priority mail $4.90 stamp, which went on sale February 3. The Bridge Authority and MDOT unveiled the stamp, which featured a "seagull’s-eye view" of the landmark, with a passing freighter below. Artist Dan Cosgrove worked from panoramic photographs to create the artwork. This is one of several designs that Cosgrove has produced for the Postal Service.
MDOT also featured the bridge on the cover of the 2007 state highway map.
