The Confederation Bridge: PEI's Lifeline
The Confederation Bridge is the longest bridge in the world crossing ice-covered water. Because of its height and exposure, it is subject to strict wind restrictions that can halt high-sided vehicles or close the bridge entirely during Atlantic storms.
High Wind & Ice Alerts
- Wind Restrictions: When gusts exceed 70 km/h, the bridge often closes to certain vehicle types. Total closures occur during extreme weather.
- Ice Spray: During winter, ice can accumulate on the bridge structure and spray onto the deck, requiring careful monitoring of surface cameras.
- Summer Tourism: Saturday and Sunday afternoons in summer see significant queues at the toll plaza (located on the PEI side).
