This view catches the "hump" for the navigation channel.

| Janey Anderson posted Here's the Confederation Bridge - opened on May 31, 1997, the 12.9-kilometre (8.0 mi) bridge is Canada's longest bridge and the world's longest bridge over ice-covered water. It's a box girder bridge carrying the Trans-Canada Highway across the Abegweit Passage of the Northumberland Strait, linking the province of Prince Edward Island with the mainland province of New Brunswick. And it's a LONG drive across!! 😂 |
This means that it is a segmented concrete girder bridge.
 |
| Mark Crenna commented on Janey's post The company that I worked for , manufactured the electrical cable that runs the length of the bridge. On windy days the bridge is closed to ship traffic because of the danger of a ship hitting the bridge. We crossed the bridge in May 2025. Photo is of example of bridge construction at visitors center in PEI |
Cars driving onto the ferry at the beginning of the ride.

This shows the ferry is symmetrical and that both ends can open up as we see in the above photos.

This shows the gate closed to keep the waves out when underway. It also shows a couple more big trucks using the ferry.

At least one of the ferries has two decks. It also shows that some of the loads can be pretty full.

The second deck getting loaded.

In this view of an incoming ferry, we see how the cars are lined up in a parking lot so that they can quickly load onto the ferry after it empties. We also get a good view of the double-deck loading ramp.
