we still recommend taking the downtown Ferry Point bridge
For guests coming to Blair House Inn via Maine we still recommend taking the Ferry Point bridge located in downtown Calais and St. Stephen. The downtown route is only 5.6 km to Blair House Inn compared to 11.8 km via the new (third) bridge over the St. Croix river. (Distances are measured from a mini roundabout (rotary/traffic circle) located on the outskirt of Calais when coming from Bangor via Route 9). The downtown route also offers guests the opportunity to get gas, dine at some fine restaurants and stop at the duty-free store before crossing the border.
