| Publisher Description: Bridging the Strait celebrates the creation of Confederation Bridge, connecting Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. Opened in June 1997, the bridge is one of the most innovative engineering projects undertaken in Canada. It's also the longest bridge ever constructed over ice-covered water. Bridging the Strait provides a fitting tribute to the engineers and designers who created it. |
