The Arctic Bridge or Arctic Sea Bridge is a seasonal sea route linking Russia to Canada, specifically the Russian port of Murmansk to the Hudson Bay port of Churchill, Manitoba. Churchill is the principal seaport on Canada's northern coast and has rail and air (but no road) connections to the rest of Canada. It is the northern terminus of the Hudson Bay Railway and is a useful link in the export of grain from the Canadian Prairies to European markets. The port of Murmansk on the ice free Kola Bay is linked by the Russian gauge Murmansk Railway to Saint Petersburg and the rest of Europe. Murmansk is also linked to the rest of Russia by the M18 Kola Motorway.
