Border Crossing Drive From Ontario Canada, Into U.S.A.
Driving I-75 (Interstate 75) over the Sault Ste Marie International Bridge from Ontario, Canada to the Border Crossing
Daytime Trip Into Canada here: • Crossing Border Drivin...
Sault Ste. Marie (/ˈsuː seɪnt məˈriː/ "Soo Saint Marie") is a city on the St. Marys River in Ontario, Canada, close to the US-Canada border. It is the seat of the Algoma District and the third largest city in Northern Ontario, after Sudbury and Thunder Bay.
To the south, across the river, is the United States and the city of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. These two communities were one city until a new treaty after the War of 1812 established the border between Canada and the United States in this area at the St. Mary's River. In the 21st century, the two cities are joined by the International Bridge, which connects Interstate 75 on the Michigan side, and Huron Street (and former Ontario Secondary Highway 550B) on the Ontario side. Shipping traffic in the Great Lakes system bypasses the Saint Mary's Rapids via the American Soo Locks, the world's busiest canal in terms of tonnage that passes through it, while smaller recreational and tour boats use the Canadian Sault Ste. Marie Canal.
French colonists referred to the rapids on the river as Les Saults de Ste. Marie and the village name was derived from that. The rapids and cascades of the St. Mary's River descend more than 20 feet from the level of Lake Superior to the level of the lower lakes. Hundreds of years ago, this slowed shipping traffic, requiring an overland portage of boats and cargo from one lake to the other. The entire name translates to "Saint Mary's Rapids" or "Saint Mary's Falls". The word sault is pronounced [so] in French, and /ˈsuː/ in the English pronunciation of the city name. Residents of the city are called Saultites.
Sault Ste. Marie is bordered to the east by the Rankin and Garden River First Nation reserves, and to the west by Prince Township. To the north, the city is bordered by an unincorporated portion of Algoma District, which includes the local services boards of Aweres, Batchawana Bay, Goulais and District, Peace Tree and Searchmont. The city's census agglomeration, including the townships of Laird, Prince and Macdonald, Meredith and Aberdeen Additional and the First Nations reserves of Garden River and Rankin, had a total population of 79,800 in 2011.
Native American settlements, mostly of Ojibwe-speaking peoples, existed here for more than 500 years. In the late 17th century, French Jesuit missionaries established a mission at the First Nations village. This was followed by development of a fur trading post and larger settlement, as traders, trappers and Native Americans were attracted to the community. It was considered one community and part of Canada until after the War of 1812 and settlement of the border between Canada and the US at the Ste. Mary's River. The US prohibited British traders from operating in its territory, and the areas separated by the river began to develop as two communities, both named Sault Ste. Marie

The sky alone is mesmerizing. It's interesting to watch as you drive away from Ontario during daybreak (right after sunrise?). Truly gorgeous cinematography!!! Thanks for uploading!
Once on the Canadian side of the International Bridge, the road turns into Carmen's Way, a truck bypass that leads to Ontario Secondary Highway 550.
Forgive me, below. I meant before daybreak, before sunrise. Really beautiful to watch!
Ohhh, it's twilight ... I don't know my times of day, I suppose.
Slow, but interesting. Good to know; to share your experience.

but still okay. so we can fully experience in realtime while crossing the border
I live in Canada that is far go at 3:07 Clock
I have to say this is the nicest American customs officer I've seen. It's not like the rest of them aren't nice and in fact, I could understand why they are as "tough" and questioning as they are (I would've probably been the same way, understanding the responsibility it entails). All being said, though, I've been to Canada and back 3 times, and all 3 times the Canadian officers seemed to be way more chill and friendly than the American officers. Again, not trying to make the American officers look bad since I can even understand/justify a certain level of strictness, but just cant help to note that the American officers seemed way more uptight and suspecting than the Canadian officers were. I might even go as far as stating that Canadians in general are nicer and more chill than Americans, but knowing that my interactions with them were mostly in a touristy area, I understand that my impressions might be unrealistic (since tourist-filled areas tend to cater to their clients and leave a good impression). In any case, life in general seems to be more relaxed and laid back in Canada than in the US. Again, this could be my personal experience being that I was just visiting for a vacation and not actually living/working there, but still. Other than that, all else is pretty much the same, with small exceptions, such as km/h instead of mph, 500g (for certain foods) instead of 1 lb (453g), 2 L instead of 1/2 gallons, etc. Also, they seem to have some low end tin can car models that we don't in the US - Mercedes B-class, NIssan MIcra, etc.

I know it’s the Canadian border with Ontario, I should have rephrased the question, which bridge and state of the US is the border crossing at which the video didn’t state that, is it NY or Michigan?
