The Vanceboro - St. Croix Border Crossing connects the towns of Vanceboro, Maine and Saint Croix, New Brunswick on the Canada–United States border. The Canadian government has at times called this crossing McAdam, named for the larger municipality east of St. Croix. In the early 1900s, this crossing was located at the adjacent lock structure a short distance to the north. A few hundred yards south of this crossing is also an international rail bridge which is notable for the 1915 Vanceboro international bridge bombing incident where a German spy attempted to destroy the bridge.
