Ogdensburg–Prescott International Bridge

The Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge is a large steel structure that spans across the Saint Lawrence River between New York and Ontario. It was designed to carry vehicle traffic in both directions across the river.

This crossing was completed in 1960 to create a direct road link between northern New York and Canada. Its construction was an important step in improving connections across the border region.

The bridge serves as the everyday connection linking two communities where families and friends live on opposite sides of the river. For locals, it represents the main gateway they use to cross between their countries.

You can cross on foot or by vehicle, and the bridge accommodates cars and trucks with weight restrictions. Both sides connect to nearby roads that lead directly into the surrounding towns.

Thousands of people cross this bridge every day without thinking much about it, yet it remains one of the busiest border crossings in this region. The river beneath serves as the international boundary, making every crossing a genuine border transition.
