Third Bridge Not Reaching Full Potential

Some interesting numbers coming from the Canadian Border Services Agency.

Many residents of St. Stephen expected the Milltown Border crossing to close down, once the new Third Bridge was opened.

But, statistics from the CBSA based on 2011, saw the Milltown bridge far exceeds the amount of travelers, with just short of 460 thousand.

The Third Bridge processed barely more than 245 thousand travellers for 2011.
