Confederation Bridge

The Confederation Bridge is a vital transportation link connecting the provinces of Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick in Canada. Spanning approximately 12.9 kilometers (8 miles), it holds the title of the longest bridge in the world crossing ice-covered water. The bridge opened to traffic on May 31, 1997, providing year-round access between these regions. It plays a crucial role in facilitating trade and travel, significantly impacting the local economy.

Although there are no specific Confederation Bridge opening hours, as it operates 24/7, travelers should be aware of potential weather-related closures or maintenance activities. The bridge design accommodates two lanes of traffic, ensuring a smooth flow for vehicles. Safety measures include monitoring systems and a toll plaza located on the Prince Edward Island side. Visitors can enjoy stunning views of the Northumberland Strait while crossing, making it not just a convenient route but also an enjoyable experience.
