Ogdensburg Bridge & Port Authority

The Ogdensburg Bridge & Port Authority (OBPA) is a pivotal transportation entity in northern New York State, serving as a critical link between the United States and Canada via the Ogdensburg–Prescott International Bridge. Established in 1960, the Authority is distinguished by its diverse portfolio: it manages the Port of Ogdensburg—the northernmost port in New York and the first U.S. port on the St. Lawrence Seaway—alongside the Ogdensburg International Airport, an industrial commerce park, and regional rail connections. Its location gives maritime shippers efficient access to the Atlantic via the Seaway and enables economical connections to Northern Europe and beyond. The OBPA is essential for regional economic development, providing full U.S. Customs services, a Foreign Trade Zone, ample indoor and outdoor storage facilities, and rail-tailored cargo solutions. Its proximity to Canada, robust transportation assets, and commitment to investment attraction and industrial growth make it a significant artery for cross-border trade and a cornerstone of development for New York's North Country.
