Summary[edit]
| Description |
Bridging the gap between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, the bridge is the longest in the world over ice covered waters. The hoof shapes at the base of the pylons are especially designed to break sheets of ice, when tides and currents shove them into the bridge. The pylons are not in a straight line. Designers thought the bridge was sufficiently long that it was necessary to have a slight waviness in the route -- to keep drivers alert. Walls of the bridge were designed to be too tall to prevent sightseeing, to keep drivers from becoming distracted. |
