Driving to the Soo from London, is much more direct if you travel via the US. The trip is approximately seven hours long, maybe a little longer depending on the boarder crossing. I found the drive to be quite good considering its length. Highlights along the way are the crossing of two major bridges. One is the Mackinac Bridge - it is the longest suspension bridge in the western hemisphere. The total length of the Mackinac Bridge is 26,372 feet. The length of the suspension bridge (including anchorages) is 8,614 feet. The length from cable bent pier to cable bent pier is 7,400 feet. Length of main span (between towers) is 3,800 feet. Both directions that I travelled across the bridge had wind warnings - for cars the speed limit was 45 miles/hour, and for all other vehicles 20 miles/hour. You also get uninterrupted views of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron as you pass over.
