Northgate Border Crossing


The Northgate Border Crossing connects the cities of Bowbells, North Dakota and Alameda, Saskatchewan on the Canada–US border. It is reached by North Dakota Highway 8 on the American side and Saskatchewan Highway 9 on the Canadian side. This border crossing opened in 1962, when Highway 8 was built, which passed a half mile west of the small town of Northgate, ND After being idle for years, the Canadian National Railway upgraded its tracks at this crossing to support rail traffic from the Bakken oil field. The US upgraded its border station on Highway 8 in 2004.
The former Port of Entry building to the left was razed in 2014/2015 for unknown reasons.
