Confederation Bridge
Spanning 12.9 km across the Northumberland Strait, which freezes in winter, linking Prince Edward Island with New Brunswick.
Opened in 1997, Confederation Bridge is 12.9 km long and is the world's longest bridge spanning ice-covered waters. The drive across takes about 12 minutes. There is no toll for travelling onto the island, while leaving the island costs a toll of about C$20. At the Prince Edward Island end, Gateway Village has a visitor information centre and shops, and seaside viewpoints nearby are good for photographing the full length of the bridge. It is about 55 km from Charlottetown.
