The Long Bridge

September 17th, 2015 · 3 Comments

The bridge connecting Prince Edward Island with New Brunswick about 14 km long, or about 9 miles. Here’s a picture of it taken from the NB end.

Long Bridge

We drove over from PEI yesterday. The bridge is only 2 lanes, one in each direction, no passing the whole way. On the NB end, as you see from the picture, it is highly elevated to connect with the cliffs on the shore.

Obviously the ocean must not be very deep across the whole strait. Still quite an engineering feat.

    It sure is! Was it scary? Did you hold up any traffic?

    Is there a toll to cross the bridge? I sound like Dad always wanting to know what things cost.

    $45CA toll to leave Prince Edward Island, whether you cross the bridge or take the ferry. It’s free to enter the island either way.
