Mackinac Bridge is somewhat famous, built in the 1950s.

They more or less do continuous maintenance during the warmer months of the year.

(So older than 50, but younger than 100)

Michiganders will also know the "Z Bridge", completed in 1988

Sticking with the mid-western therme, the Chicago Skyway was built in 1958

First span of the Blue Water Bridge (Port Huron to Sarnia) built 1938, doing just fine as far as I know. (Drove over it a couple of weekends ago.) Second span was 1997.
