St. Stephen Border Crossings
St. Stephen, New Brunswick, is eastern Canada's main crossing into Maine, connecting to Calais across the St. Croix River over three bridges. The Ferry Point bridge drops straight from downtown St. Stephen into downtown Calais and carries the urban traffic; the International Avenue bridge, on the Route 1 bypass, is the modern port that channels trucks and commercial cargo on FAST lanes; and the historic Milltown bridge, upriver, rounds out the system. Here you compare each one's live wait time — General, NEXUS and cargo — to separate urban from commercial traffic; open any one for its hourly pattern and the best hour of the day.
