Wanderlust World Wanderlust World The Confederation Bridge connecting Prince Edward Island to mainland New Brunswick was built by Strait Crossing Incorporated, a consortium led by Jan‑Arend Drost and Peter Kiewit Sons.
The Canadian government established the consortium in 1992 as a public corporation to design, construct, finance, operate, and maintain the bridge. Construction lasted from 1993 to 1997. The consortium operated the bridge until 2019, when ownership transferred fully to the federal government.
At 12.9 km (8 mi), it is the world's longest bridge over ice‑covered water.
