The Metaline Falls–Nelway Border Crossing connects the town of Metaline Falls, Washington with Nelson, British Columbia at the Canada–US border. Access is via Washington State Route 31 on the American side and British Columbia Highway 6 on the Canadian side.
The popular belief is that Nelway is a contraction of "Nelson and Spokane highway," but could be for Nelson and Fort Sheppard Railway, which passed in the vicinity. Canada has had a customs office in the Nelson area since 1900, but this particular crossing did not exist until the Pend Oreille Highway was completed in 1921. The highway on the BC side officially opened in 1923, but the name Nelway did not appear until 1926.
