<> 这座桥名为联邦大桥,英文名为Confederation Bridge,桥在加拿大,是连接爱德华王子岛 (Prince Edward Island)与新伯伦瑞克省(New Brunswick)之间的桥梁。</P>
<> 爱德华王子岛位在加拿大东岸,是加拿大本土之外悬于海上的孤岛,有「波浪中的摇篮」之名,也是加拿大最小的省份;在联邦大桥完成之前,除了飞机,爱德华王子岛只能靠渡轮与外界联系,跨海大桥完工之后,交通更频繁方便,也带动了这座小岛的经济发展,创造更多来自观光及农产品的收益。爱德华王子岛是以农业为主的小岛,但做事却极有远见与气魄,为了克服交通的问题,有人提出建海底铁路隧道的构想,有人则提出跨海大桥,最后当然是跨海大桥的意见胜出,不过,当小岛上的府会提出这个大胆的构想时,对岸的新伯伦瑞克省反而却步,认为困难度太高,很难实现,不过,爱德华王子岛并没有放弃,克服了一切的困难;这座大桥在1993年动工,1997年完工通车,全长近13公里(8 miles)为两线道的快速道路,速限80公里,使用了65个桥墩,为了让船只通过,水面与桥面的距离特别设拉高到61公尺(200 feet),为了减少潮水和风的冲击力,还设计了3个转折弯道,因此联邦大桥并非笔直地横跨在海上。</P>
<> 爱德华王子岛,也许大家对这个岛并不是十分耳熟,其实,这个岛就是拍摄《清秀佳人》的地点,看过这出电视剧的影迷们一定对岛上清新的风光印象深刻吧;当然,岛上首选的旅游胜地就是故事中女主角 安居住的“绿色庄园(Green Gables)”了,据说这里每年都有几十万来自世界各地的访客,小屋前常可见到排着长长队伍等着入场的景象呢</P><img src="data/attachment/forum/dvbbs/2004-5/200453152844272.jpg" border="0" onload="if(this.width>screen.width*0.7) {this.resized=true; this.width=screen.width*0.7; this.alt=\'Click here to open new window\nCTRL+Mouse wheel to zoom in/out\';}" onmouseover="if(this.width>screen.width*0.7) {this.resized=true; this.width=screen.width*0.7; this.style.cursor=\'hand\'; this.alt=\'Click here to open new window\nCTRL+Mouse wheel to zoom in/out\';}" onclick="if(!this.resized) {return true;} else {window.open(\'data/attachment/forum/dvbbs/2004-5/200453152844272.jpg\');}" onmousewheel="return imgzoom(this);" alt="" />
