The Blackpool Border Crossing is the name for a land border crossing between the United States and Canada, commonly known as the International Boundary.
It connects Champlain, New York and St-Bernard-de-Lacolle, Quebec and is the terminus of Interstate 87 in the U.S. and Autoroute 15 in Canada. It is the major crossing on the Montreal-New York City corridor.
On the Canadian side it is locally known as the St. Bernard de Lacolle border crossing and on the American side it is referred to as the Champlain border crossing. The "Blackpool" name comes from the adjacent former crossing where US Route 9 used to enter Canada. It closed in 1967 when Interstate 87 was completed, but the Blackpool name is sometimes still used.
"The Blackpool Border Crossing is one of the largest ports of entry along the International Boundary. It is the sixth-busiest commercial crossing on the United States-Canada border, accounting for approximately 735,000 commercial vehicle crossings per year and approximately 2,000 commercial vehicle crossings per day. It is the primary route for vehicular traffic traveling between New York City, NY and Montreal, Quebec. This, coupled with the relative remoteness of the crossing, has allowed for the expansion of buildings and facilities on both sides of the border in recent years." source : (
