Rouses Point–Lacolle 223 Border Crossing in the United States, this was a very popular border crossing. U.S. Route 11, which connects this crossing, was among only a few paved roads at that time, and the US Customs office was not located at the border as it is today. Travelers were expected to drive into the village of Rouses Point to report for inspection and make declarations. Those involved in smuggling rarely would report, so the United States Customs Service moved to construct a border station. By the time construction was completed on the border station (which is still in use today), prohibition had been repealed.
