The Rouses Point Bridge carries U.S. Route 2 (US 2) across Lake Champlain at the point where the Richelieu River begins its trek north to the St. Lawrence Seaway. Also known as the Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge, it connects Rouses Point, New York in the extreme northeast corner of New York to Alburgh, Vermont. It is the northernmost of three bridge crossings over the approximately 130 miles (210 km)-long Lake Champlain border between New York and Vermont.
