About this crossing
The Madawaska–Edmundston crossing joins northwestern New Brunswick with the northern tip of Maine over the Saint John River, in the heart of the francophone Madawaska region. The two paper-mill cities live as one community — the mills on either bank were once even linked by pipelines — and the crossing carries that daily back-and- forth of workers and families. Traffic is local and steady, with waits that rarely pass a few minutes.
