Prince Edward Island had a century-old plan that was finally executed in the 1990s to build a bridge to connect to mainland Canada (1).

This is the same debate that happens each time there’s a fixed connection to an island until the damn thing opens and people grow to love it.

It’s a pain in the arse to have to wait for the ferry, to sync your travel plans to ferry times, only to have to change plans again when the ferries break down.
