Kass recognized that bridge right off.  Well done it is massive!  Which bridge is longer the Confederation or the Mackinac?

Well minimalist, it took a few seconds to scroll down whilst opening and it look absolutely great in a panoramic format.

Thanks, Judy, Jeanne and Summicron.

I forgot to mention that the the other end of the bridge is connected to New Brunswick.
I believe it is longer than the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan.

Confederation Bridge.

At 12.9 kilometres (8 miles), the Confederation Bridge is world's longest bridge over ice-covered water. It has won dozens of international engineering awards since its construction, and was designed to last for a century. 
It costs about $43 CDN to get back to the mainland from PEI

The Mackinac Bridge is currently the third longest suspension bridge in the world.  The bridge opened to traffic on November 1, 1957.
The Mackinac Bridge is located on Interstate 75 in northern Michigan at the Straits of Mackinac. The bridge connects Michigan's upper and lower peninsulas.

Passenger Vehicle - $1.75 per axle or $3.50 per car
