Edmundston–Madawaska Bridge, Border crossing bridge between Madawaska, Maine and Edmundston, New Brunswick.

The four-span steel truss bridge stretches 287 meters across the Saint John River, connecting the United States and Canada with a two-lane roadway.

The structure replaced a cable ferry service in 1921, marking the first permanent crossing point between Madawaska and Edmundston for vehicles and pedestrians.

The bridge functions as a physical connection between English and French-speaking communities, linking Maine's Acadian population with New Brunswick's francophone region.

A new bridge is under construction upstream from the current structure, with completion scheduled for 2024 at a cost of 135 million dollars.

The bridge features an open steel grid deck roadway, installed in 1961 to replace the original asphalt and timber surface.
