I think it would be interesting. I've only been to Northern Michigan, mainly near the Porcupine Mountains and Lake Gogebic. I'd love to see the rest of the state.

In the desert they have signs warning you "last stop for 100 miles". You'd need a similar one on this bridge. Or have a gas and food oasis every 30 miles. You'd almost have to for safety reasons.

You'd need at least one oasis. I believe that the distance is around 70 miles. You would also have to have some type of a pull-over lane for people with car troubles and for cops to pull out from to give tickets...A dismal fact of life...Three big problems would be winter weather conditions, and more generally, wind and fog. |

It's more like 120 miles across the lake from Milwaukee to Muskegon? |

Sorry. You are right. Its farther than I said originally. I used to leavie by boat from Door County and crossi the lake over to Michigan up there. That is only about 70 miles. But the lake widens out by the time you get as far south as Milwaukee. So it could easily be 120 miles. |

How long is the freeway elevated going into NOLA? Miles and miles, and I know the Florida keys have a similar watery road.
But I object in the vein of "forever free and open" it applies to the shores, I think it should to the water as well.
But maybe avoiding Chicago would make it worth it!
