Rouses Point–Lacolle 223 Border Crossing

Rouses Point–Lacolle 223 Border Crossing, Border crossing station between New York and Quebec, United States and Canada

The Rouses Point-Lacolle 223 crossing is a border station between New York and Quebec that processes passenger and commercial vehicles on Route 223. The facility has separate lanes designed to handle both types of traffic efficiently.

The US inspection station at Rouses Point was completed in 1936, after the United States Customs Service built it to stop smuggling during Prohibition; by then Prohibition had been repealed. Canada had a station here earlier, replacing its 1932 Tudor-revival building with a brick one in 1971. The US station joined the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.

The crossing serves as a meeting point between English and French-speaking communities on either side of the border. Local residents cross regularly for work, shopping, and family visits, making it a vital link in everyday life for people in both regions.

The crossing is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so no timing restrictions apply. It sits on Quebec Route 223 at the west side of New York Route 9B (St. John's Highway), with the US station facing east and an oval asphalt drive leading cars from Canada into three inspection lanes. Parking is at the south end of that drive.

The US station's plan is unique among the seven border stations built between 1931 and 1934: besides the two-story central block and north and south wings, it has symmetrical single-story wings on the west facade, giving a U-shaped overall plan. Its landscaping, including spruce trees over thirty years old, came from Lady Bird Johnson's beautification program.
