New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island in Canada has a two-lane bridge called the “Confederation Bridge.”
Yes, it can get windy on the bridge. However, the bridge does get closed if the winds are extreme. So far, no one has been injured or killed because of the winds.

Is it going to be part of the Split – Dubrovnik highway (A1) which is currently under construction?
