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]

The crossing is the easternmost on the border between the United States and Canada.^[2]
