The Alburgh–Noyan Border Crossing connects the villages of Noyan, Quebec with Alburgh, Vermont on the Canada–US border. It is reached by Vermont Route 225 on the American side and by Quebec Route 225 on the Canadian side. This crossing is characterized by the unusual condition that it has a single facility that houses both the US and Canada border inspection agencies. It is the only crossing east of the Great Lakes that features a joint border inspection station. It was built in 1992, one of just two created prior to the 1995 Canada-United States Accord on Our Shared Border.
Prior to the construction of the joint border station, both the US and Canada had their own border stations at this location. These stations were responsible for collecting duty and performing inspections on vehicles crossing the border at several nearby north-south roads. Signs directed traffic to report for inspection.
