Lubec–Campobello Border Crossing

The Lubec–Campobello Border Crossing connects the towns of Lubec, Maine and Welshpool, New Brunswick on the Canada–US border. This crossing is located at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Bridge. Although a ferry connected Lubec with Campobello Island for many years, permanent border inspection facilities were not deployed until the bridge was completed in 1962. The US operated out of a mobile home for the first two years.[1]
