Description: The Barra Strait is a 1 km (0.62 mi) wide channel located the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. It connects the northern and southern basins of Bras d'Or Lake, an inland saltwater body that dominates the centre of Cape Breton Island. In the foreground is Barra Strait Bridge, opened in October 1993, carrying Route 223, replacing a ferry across the strait. Behind it (with the arched spans) is the Barra Strait Railway Bridge, the longest railway bridge in the province, built in the 1880s by the Intercolonial Railway of Canada.
