I would place the North American terminus at Halifax, Nova Scotia, notjust for parochial reasons, but also because it is on the North American mainland and has excellent rail connections, whereas Newfoundland has none.

The surface distance between Halifax and Galway is 2,474.89 miles (3,982.95 kilometres).

The Confederation Bridge between Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick is 12.9 kilometres long, cost C$1 billion ($US 780 million) and took 3 1/2 years to build.

The two-way toll rate for a private automobile is C$39.00 ($US 30.42) and C$55.75 ($US 43.49) for a truck with one trailer.

If the Trans-Atlantic Bridge toll were calculated on the same dollars per kilometre basis as the Confederation Bridge, a private automobile would pay a two-way toll of about C$12,000.00 ($US 9,360.00).

Yeah, but wouldn't the toll be tax-deductible, or something? There would have to be an incentive to use the bridge.
