58. An ad agency picked the colors for the bridge. The company, which was working for a client who was supplying engines and equipment used to build the bridge, featured the bridge in an advertisement, according to the St. Ignace News. At the time, colors hadn't been selected for the bridge, so the company chose ivory for the towers and foliage green trusses. Bridge Authority members and engineers saw the advertisement and liked it, so they kept the color scheme.
