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[1] After being idle for years, the Canadian National Railway upgraded its tracks at this crossing to support rail traffic from the Bakken oil field.[2] The US upgraded its border station on Highway 8 in 2004.
Abandoned US border station at the former Northgate border crossing
The former Port of Entry building to the left was razed in 2014/2015 for unknown reasons.
