2. WHEN AND WHERE WAS THE
STRUCTURE BUILT
The Confederation bridge was built in
New Brunswick Canada and started
construction in 1993 and finished in
1997.

3. WHY WAS THE CONFEDERATION BRIDGE
BUILT GIVE US SOME BACK ROUND
HISTORY
The Confederation Bridge was built to provide a
easy road transportation between New
Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Back in
the late 1950s all the way to the early 1960s
both governments wanted a way to get to each
other without using a train or a airplane. They
thought about a ferry or a steam engine. But
eventually they said lets build a bridge

4. WHAT ARE THE ARCHITECTURAL
FEATURES THAT MAKE THIS BRIDGE
SPECIAL
This bridge has many concrete pillars
holding archways that are dug all the
way to the sea bed using a device called
a Svanen. Then all those pillars and
archways are put to work and hold a
gigantic 8 mile bridge.

5. WHAT ARE SOME CHALLENGES THE
ENGINEERS FACED AND HOW DID THEY
OVERCOME THESE
The engineers faced a problem where
there bridge was going to be built on a
lobster habitat. They overcame this
problem by talking to marine engineers
and building around the habitat in a
special way.

6. HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO
COMPLETE THIS STRUCTURE
This structure took 4 years to
build from 1993 to 1997.

7. WHAT ARE INTERESTING STORIES OR FUN
FACTS ABOUT THIS BRIDGE
• In 2005 they did the terry fox run over the confederation

• It took 22,683 men to fully construct the confederation
bridge.
• The bridge cost 1billion dollars to construct. here is a
good place where you can find out lots about the
architect.

8. CAN YOU FIND ANY MATH RELATED TO YOUR
STRUCTURE
It takes 18 minutes to cross the
confederation bridge at 45 miles per
hour how long will it take to cross it at
90 miles per hour?

9. AWNSER
The answer is 9 because
half of 90 is 45 and half of
18 is 9.
