Like everything else these days, the cost of going across to Sault Michigan could set you back a little more.
The Sault Ste. Marie Bridge Authority is looking at semi-annual increases of 2.9 percent for all passenger vehicles, with commercial vehicles seeing a proposed increase of 4.7 percent. The plan would see the increases apply twice a year for the next ten years.
