No, you cannot walk or cycle across the Confederation Bridge, which connects Prince Edward Island to New Brunswick. The 12.9-kilometer (8-mile) bridge is strictly for motorized vehicle traffic due to safety concerns regarding the intense winds and the narrow, two-lane configuration of the bridge deck. However, the bridge authority provides a dedicated shuttle service for pedestrians and cyclists. In 2026, this shuttle operates daily (usually from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM) and transports people and their bikes across the Northumberland Strait for a small fee—currently around $4.75 for pedestrians and $9.50 for cyclists. You simply arrive at the shuttle loading areas at either Gateway Village (PEI) or the New Brunswick toll plaza. While you don't get the experience of walking the bridge yourself, the shuttle ride offers a safe way to cross without a car. The only exception to the "no walking" rule is during rare, officially sanctioned charity events like the "Bridge Run," which only happens once every few years and requires advanced registration.
