Changes

On the U.S. side, [[Quebec highways|A-15]] becomes Interstate-87 or "The Northway" as it is known in northern New York State. South of [[Albany]], I-87 is known as "The Thruway".

A note about the main crossing at [[Quebec highways|A-15]] known as "Champlain-Lacolle". It's technically illegal to hitch south from the main crossing as it is an Interstate highway on which pedestrians (including, er, especially hitchhikers) are forbidden. So unless you get a through ride across the border, there are some alternative border crossings to consider other than the main Champlain-Lacolle crossing on [[Quebec highways|A-15]] (I-87 on the U.S. side).

Overton Corners (US), 6 km south of the village of Lacolle, is a small crossing mostly used by locals and by those in the know. It connects the Quebec route 221 with NY-276 and is about 2 miles east of the main Champlain-Lacolle border crossing that connects [[Quebec highways|A-15]] and I-87. Obviously, it's only useful if you can get a lift near there, but is sometimes worth saving the hassle as border guards from both countries are generally more laid-back here.

=== Going South-East ===

If you want to get to the border at [[St-Armand]], [[Quebec]] and the state of [[Vermont]], you will have to get a bit outside of the island of Montreal, first, since most of the highways within Montreal directly lead into the highway that goes to the border of [[New York State]]. Crossing the border with New York, by hitchhiking, but especially on foot, is not recommended.
