The Ferry Point Bridge Crossing connects the towns of Calais, Maine and St. Stephen, New Brunswick. This crossing is located at the Ferry Point International Bridge. Various bridges have existed at this location since 1845, when a covered bridge was completed. It was replaced by a steel bridge in 1895 that featured a streetcar line, and it no longer required payment of a toll.[1] In 2009, after the completion of the International Avenue Border Crossing, commercial trucks were prohibited from crossing the border at this location.
The US border station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
