Ferry Point International Bridge, International bridge in St. Stephen, Canada.
Ferry Point International Bridge is a crossing that spans the St. Croix River, connecting St. Stephen, Canada to Calais, Maine. The structure consists of steel construction and allows vehicles and pedestrians to pass between the two bordering countries.
The border building on the American side was constructed between 1935 and 1936 and later listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. The bridge itself developed in response to growing trade and exchange needs between the border communities.
The bridge links two towns that have grown side by side across the river and share deep local ties. Visitors notice how the two communities remain closely connected despite being in different countries.
The crossing is available year-round and operates 24 hours daily, with customs officials monitoring both directions. Visitors should have valid travel documents ready and allow time to pass through all necessary checkpoints.
This crossing is one of three international bridges in close proximity, making this area one of the densest border crossing zones in North America. This concentration gives travelers multiple options for crossing between the countries.
