The Government of Canada understands the critical role the Confederation Bridge plays as an economic and social lifeline for the province of Prince Edward Island and the region, and the importance of ensuring it remains an affordable transportation link for the region.
Today, the Minister of Transport, Pablo Rodriguez, announced that 2024 tolls will remain frozen for a second year, at current rates, for the Confederation Bridge. The bridge operator, Strait Crossing Bridge Limited (SCBL), will receive funding from Transport Canada to avoid increases in tolls related to high inflation.
Freezing tolls for 2024 on the Confederation Bridge will support bridge users, in particular Prince Edward Island residents and businesses who have been hit hard by high inflation, especially during a period of economic rebuilding and recovery.
