The Confederation Bridge is a remarkable engineering feat that connects the province of Prince Edward Island to New Brunswick in Canada. Spanning approximately 12.9 kilometers (8 miles), it is the longest bridge in the world that crosses ice-covered waters. Opened in 1997, the bridge was built to improve transportation and accessibility to the island. Constructed using reinforced concrete, the Confederation Bridge features a series of arches and piers designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. It is a vital link for residents and tourists, allowing for easier travel and trade between the provinces. The bridge is also a popular spot for sightseeing and photography.
