About this crossing
Champlain–Lacolle is the great gate between Quebec and New York: here Montreal's Autoroute 15 becomes Interstate 87 toward Plattsburgh, Albany and New York City. It is the busiest crossing on the Quebec border — Montreal–NYC cargo, vacationers and each season's snowbirds — with NEXUS and commercial lanes. Quebec's construction holiday, summer weekends and long holidays are its classic peaks.
