Churubusco / Franklin – U.S. NY 189 / Canadian QC 209
This is a very small border crossing with limited hours of operation. For that reason, Canadian officials closed their side of this port on April 1, 2011. U.S. officials decided against closure and are in fact upgrading the Customs facility. This is now a “one-way” port that allows access into the U.S. but not back into Canada. The nearest alternative port is Herdman.
