Clair – Fort Kent Bridge, International road bridge at Saint John River between Maine and New Brunswick.
The Clair-Fort Kent Bridge is a steel structure spanning 221 meters across the Saint John River with three sections that connect the communities. It serves as the main road link between Fort Kent in Maine and Clair in New Brunswick.
An initial footbridge from 1905 was replaced by a steel structure in 1930, which operated until the current bridge opened in 2014. This progression shows how the connection between the communities evolved over time.
The crossing joins two communities whose residents share French-Canadian heritage and maintain close cultural ties across the water. Language and traditions shape daily life on both sides of this border region.
The crossing operates around the clock for vehicle traffic, allowing direct passage between Maine and New Brunswick. Note that Canadian border services have limited weekday hours during business times.
The bridge marks the northern terminus of U.S. Route 1, which runs along the entire East Coast of America. This makes it a symbolically important point for travelers exploring the country's longest coastal highway.
