The 12.9 km long Confederation Bridge, connecting Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick in eastern Atlantic Canada, is the world’s longest bridge built over ice covered sea water.

By utilizing hundreds of built-in sensors, which continuously collect data and information about how the bridge moves and responds to harsh environmental conditions, Carleton University’s team of researchers and graduate students have been able to carry out exciting new research in the emerging field of smart structures and infrastructure health monitoring.
