Champlain/Lacolle Border Crossing, New York

The Champlain/Lacolle crossing, on Interstate 87, is one of the busiest crossings in the country. I-87 travels through the Adirondacks, and is the most direct route between New York City, and Montreal, less than 30 miles north of here. Over 2 million travelers come through each year, more than half a million just in the summer months of July and August. A major gas line also crosses the border here, on the west side of the station. A half mile east of it is the Meridan Road crossing, now closed, with an old US Port of Entry building now unused next to the road.
