Ogdensburg–Prescott Border Crossing

The Ogdensburg–Prescott Border Crossing connects the cities of Ogdensburg, New York, and Johnstown, Ontario, on the Canada–United States border, and is located at the Ogdensburg–Prescott International Bridge. Even though it is located 3 miles (5 km) northeast of the cities, the bridge and the border crossing are named for Ogdensburg and Prescott because they were intended to replace ferry service between the two cities when the bridge was built in 1960. Prior to 1960, vessels crossed between Ogdensburg and Prescott (and border inspections were conducted) since 1800. Between 1858 and 1970, an international rail ferry was operated where rail cars were loaded onto vessels and ferried between Ogdensburg and Prescott.^[1]
