The Confederation Bridge is essential in supporting the economy and connectivity for the province of Prince Edward Island and the region. Today, the Minister of Transport and Internal Trade, the Honourable Anita Anand, announced that 2025 tolls will remain frozen for a third year at current rates, for the Confederation Bridge. The bridge operator, Strait Crossing Bridge Limited (SCBL), will receive funding from Transport Canada to prevent a toll increase.
As announced in Budget 2024, funding was provided to freeze tolls in 2025 and 2026. The Government of Canada will negotiate the 2026 toll freeze with the bridge operator next year.
Freezing tolls for 2025 on the Confederation Bridge will provide relief to bridge users, particularly Prince Edward Island residents and businesses, who have been significantly impacted by high inflation during this critical time of economic recovery and rebuilding.
