How much does it cost to cross the Confederation Bridge to PEI?

The federal government is freezing Confederation Bridge tolls for 2023. Currently, the cost to cross the bridge leaving Prince Edward Island is $50.25 for a regular car with two axles. Each additional axle adds $8.50, meaning crossing with a small trailer in tow is $58.75. Motorcycle tolls will remain at $20.



In 2026, the toll for a standard two-axle passenger vehicle to cross the Confederation Bridge from Prince Edward Island to New Brunswick is $50.25. It is a high-value peer tip to remember that the toll is only charged when leaving the island; entering PEI from the New Brunswick side is free. For those traveling with additional axles (such as a trailer or RV), the cost increases by approximately $8.50 per extra axle. Motorcycles typically pay a reduced rate of $20.00. If you are a pedestrian or a cyclist, you cannot physically walk or bike across the 12.9km bridge for safety reasons; instead, you must use the Bridge Shuttle, which costs approximately $4.75 per pedestrian and $9.50 per cyclist. All major credit cards, debit cards, and cash are accepted at the toll plaza in Borden-Carleton. Since the bridge is the primary lifeline for the island, these tolls are used for the ongoing maintenance of the structure, ensuring it remains "open for business" even during the high winds of the Northumberland Strait.
