Saint Leonard – Van Buren Bridge, International road bridge between Saint Leonard, New Brunswick and Van Buren, Maine.
The Saint Leonard - Van Buren Bridge spans the Saint John River, connecting Canada and the United States with three traffic lanes and inspection facilities.
Built in 1911 to replace a hand-pulled cable ferry, the bridge underwent complete reconstruction in 1972 to accommodate increasing border traffic demands.
The bridge connects two communities with strong Acadian heritage, where travelers can explore historical buildings and traditional North American architecture.
The United States border station operates continuously while Canadian commercial services function on weekdays from 8 AM to 4 PM, excluding holidays.
The crossing processes approximately 272,425 vehicles annually, ranking among the 25 most active border points between Canada and the United States.
