The Confederation Bridge spans the Abegweit Passage of Northumberland Strait. This 12.9-kilometre links Prince Edward Island with mainland New Brunswick. When travelling at the speed limit, it takes about 12 minutes to cross the bridge.
Construction took place from October 1993 to May 1997.
The President of Ireland, Mary McAleese, during a state visit to Canada in 1998, referred to the bridge as the "Span of Green Gables".
