Mackinac Bridge workers belong to a small and genuinely rare category of human beings who go to work every day at heights and in conditions that most people cannot fully process when they hear about it described out loud. The bridge stretches 26,372 feet from anchorage to anchorage with its twin towers rising 552 feet above the Straits of Mackinac, and the workers who paint, inspect, and maintain it do their jobs on those towers and along those cables with the Straits of Mackinac visible in every direction below them and wind that at tower height regularly exceeds conditions that would ground aircraft.

The bridge painting operation never actually stops. By the time the crew finishes painting the entire structure from one end to the other it is time to start over again from the beginning. The bridge contains 42,000 miles of wire in its main cables and approximately 4,000,000 bolts and every inch of it requires ongoing attention from people who have made peace with elevation in a way that took either exceptional training or exceptional nerve or both. The thermal expansion between Michigan summers and winters causes the roadway to move up to 35 feet vertically, which means the bridge itself is in constant motion underneath the people maintaining it.

What makes these workers genuinely extraordinary is the combination of where they work and what surrounds them when they do it. Standing at the top of a Mackinac Bridge tower means standing 552 feet above the point where Lake Michigan and Lake Huron meet, looking out over two Great Lakes simultaneously, with the Upper Peninsula on one side and the Lower Peninsula on the other and five miles of open water between them. It is one of the most spectacular views available to any worker anywhere in the country and it belongs to the people with the skill and the nerve to earn it every single day. Michigan built something extraordinary in 1957 and put people up there to keep it standing and those people show up and do exactly that without fanfare and without enough recognition for what the job actually requires.
