The Eastern Upper Peninsula Transportation Authority operates car ferries in its area. These include ferries for [[Sugar Island (Michigan)|Sugar Island]], [[Neebish Island]], and [[Drummond Island]]. Two ferry companies run passenger ferries from St. Ignace to Mackinac Island.

The three major bridges in the Upper Peninsula are:
* [[Mackinac Bridge]], connecting the [[Lower Peninsula of Michigan]] with the Upper;
* [[Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge]], which connects the city of Sault Ste. Marie to its twin city of [[Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario|Sault Ste. Marie]] in Canada; and
* [[Portage Lake Lift Bridge|Portage Lift Bridge]], which crosses [[Portage Lake (Keweenaw)|Portage Lake]]. The Portage Lift Bridge is the world's heaviest and widest double-decked vertical lift bridge. Its center span lifts to provide about {{convert|100|ft|m}} of clearance for ships. Since rail traffic was discontinued in the Keweenaw, the lower deck is used to accommodate [[snowmobile]] traffic in the winter. As the only land-based link between the north and south sections of the Keweenaw Peninsula, the bridge is crucial to transportation.
