The Lewiston–Queenston Border Crossing connects the communities of Lewiston, New York and Queenston, Ontario, and is located at the Lewiston–Queenston Bridge. It also connects Interstate 190 with Ontario Highway 405. This crossing was established in 1962 with the completion of the bridge, which replaced the transverse-named Queenston-Lewiston Bridge,^[1] which was located about seven-tenths mile (1.1 km) to the north. In Canada, this name is sometimes used for the current bridge.

Canada replaced its border inspection facilities in 2011. The United States continues to use its original 1962 border inspection facilities; however it has announced plans to spend $50 Million to upgrade them.^[2]
