The drive across Confederation Bridge is certainly an experience. The Bridge is 13.2 kms long and is the longest bridge in the world over open water. It crosses Northumberland Strait between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. The salt waters of the strait freeze during the winter. In the second photo, you can see the bridge turning to the left, back between the second and third pylon. The bridge was opened in 1998 and is a feat of engineering. Prior to the bridge being opened, the only access to P. E. I. was by ferry in the summer months.
