About this crossing
The Houlton–Woodstock crossing connects New Brunswick with Maine at the point where the Trans-Canada (Route 95) touches the northern end of Interstate 95. It is the main commercial port between the Maritimes and New England: potatoes and farm goods from the Saint John River valley, forestry cargo, and travelers on the Fredericton–Bangor corridor. It runs continuously and its waits stay short, rising at harvest and holidays.
