The Confederation Bridge resurfacing project on Prince Edward Island is set to commence next Friday, April 30, 2026. The project aims to improve the driving surface of the iconic 12.9-kilometre bridge connecting the island to New Brunswick.
Project Details
According to Strait Crossing Bridge Limited, the company responsible for the bridge's operation and maintenance, the resurfacing work will involve milling and paving sections of the bridge deck. Lane closures and reduced speed limits will be in effect during the construction period to ensure worker and driver safety.
Motorists are advised to expect delays and plan alternate routes if possible. The project is scheduled to be completed by late fall 2026, weather permitting.
Background
The Confederation Bridge, opened in 1997, is a vital transportation link for Prince Edward Island. Regular maintenance and resurfacing are essential to preserve the bridge's structural integrity and safety standards.
Strait Crossing Bridge Limited will provide updates on the project's progress and any further disruptions via its official website and social media channels.
