The Clair–Fort Kent Bridge is a 4-span multi-girder steel bridge crossing the Saint John River between Clair, New Brunswick, Canada, and Fort Kent, Maine, United States.
The bridge handles an annual average of 739 vehicles per day and forms a border crossing on the International Boundary. It connects with Route 205 in New Brunswick and Route 161 and U.S. Route 1 (US 1) in Maine, also forming the northern terminus of US 1.
Since it is an international bridge, the Canadian portion of the structure is the responsibility of the Province of New Brunswick, while the American portion is operated by the State of Maine.
The current bridge was opened in July of 2014 and replaced an older steel-truss bridge.
