Confederation Bridge – Connecting Prince Edward Island & New Brunswick Longest Bridge in the World (over
ice – many longer bridges have been built, especially in Asia)
8 miles long
Connects PEI and New Brunswick
Large debate over whether to build in 1980s. Many on the island were afraid of the change that would come with the bridge. The 1988 vote on the matter: 59% said “YES” to a solid link with the mainland.
Toll paid when leaving the island. If you come by ferry, you only pay when leaving. Or, only pay the ferry if you leave that way! Ferry is more expensive… with a vehicle, ferry is $60+ and bridge only costs $45.
