The Orient – Fosterville Border Crossing connects the towns of Orient, Maine and Fosterville, New Brunswick. At this crossing, the United States is still operating the original border station built in 1936, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. Canada built its current border station in 1986. This part of the Canada–United States border is at the St. Croix River, which is little more than a stream here. The original bridge connecting Orient with Fosterville was said to be the shortest international bridge between the US and Canada.[1]
