[edit] British Columbia – Alaska

Stewart Glacier Highway Hyder International Street U.S. port of entry closed; no inspection services provided. Hyder is the end of the road, making it difficult to justify the cost of maintaining the border station. The Canadian port of entry remains open.

[edit] British Columbia – Washington

Boundary Bay 67 Street Point Roberts Meadow Lane Old border crossing used to be located on the east end of the peninsula. Crossing was permanently closed in 1975 when the new station was built on Tyee Drive.[2]
Bridesville Old Molson Road Molson Old Railroad Road Molson died a slow death as its mining and farming businesses dried up in the 1920s.[3] Molson's designation as a port of entry was revoked in 1941,[4] and the Customs and Immigration station in the town closed.
Myncaster Myncaster Road Chesaw Bolster Road Canada port of entry was maintained to support both road and rail traffic, however, traffic on Bolster Road was light and the port of entry closed when the railroad ceased operations in 1937.[5]

[edit] British Columbia – Montana

Flathead Flathead Rd Trailcreek North Fork Rd Border crossing on adjacent to the Flathead River closed in 1996 due to flooding of the road just north of the border.[6] The road is gated at the border. Both the US and Canadian border stations remain but are falling into disrepair.

[edit] Alberta – Montana

[edit] Saskatchewan – Montana

[edit] Saskatchewan – North Dakota

North Gate Hwy 9 Northgate ND 8 US and Canadian Ports of Entry were abandoned when the highway was rebuilt about a half mile west of town in the early 1980s. Both buildings remain, and the border community is a virtual ghost town.[7]

[edit] Manitoba – Minnesota

Emerson PTH 75 Noyes US 75 This was once among the busiest U.S.-Canada border crossings. It was the point at which the Jefferson Highway intersected the international boundary and it was adorned with an elaborate archway. Traffic waned with the 1957 opening of Interstate 29 about a mile to the west. The crossing was closed first by Canada in 2000 (where traffic was permitted southbound only), then by the U.S. in July 2006.

[edit] Ontario – Minnesota

Pigeon River Old Border Rd Pigeon River County Route 89 (formerly MN Route 1) Outlaw Bridge Formerly called Sextus City.

[edit] Quebec – Vermont

Highwater Chemin Lafond North Troy Space Research Corporation Road In the 1970s and 1980s, Space Research Corporation owned property on both sides of the border. As the company began building military weapons, the US established a border inspection station outside the company's gate to inspect southbound traffic. This station also enabled US workers to legally return home after work without having to go through the North Troy border crossing, and it was not for use by the general public. Canada did not have a border station on the company's north gate.
Mansonville Chemin du Pont-Couvert North Troy Douglas Road Also known as "Province Hill", Canada Customs closed this office around 1972. The building is now purple and privately owned, but in the 1980s it was rented as a vacation home[10]. Prior to its construction in the 1960s, Canada Customs operated out of a line house across the street. This building was separated, moved about a half mile North and used as cottages[11].
Leadville Chemin des Parulines Newport Leadville Road Canadian Customs had a station from the mid 1930s to 1939, then reopened in 1948. It was replaced with a new border station in the mid-1950s, which permanently closed on March 31, 1969.[12]. It was converted into a private home has been updated in many ways. The US also had a border station at this crossing.
Lineboro Chemin de North Derby North Derby Smugglers Road Canada provided Customs service at this road and rail crossing 1932-1937 and 1949-1953. The US never had Customs services here. Today, the Canadian border station is a private home, the train tracks are a bike trail, and signs urge cyclists not to cross here.[13]

[edit] New Brunswick – Maine

Four Falls Brown Road East Road Russell Road Canada still provides Customs services seasonally, however US-bound traffic is prohibited, and has been since the US border station closed in the 1960s, although Canadian traffic had been permitted to use the road to the Aroostook Valley Golf Course. This ceased in 2006. Several Canadian properties access the road which pre-dates the establishment of the border; several residents have experienced harassment from U.S. Border Patrol officers since 9/11.[14][15]
Tinker Tinker Road Fort Fairfield Aroostook Falls Road The Aroostook River flood of 1994 killed 2 Canadian Customs officers whose vehicle was swept into a ditch by rising flood waters at this crossing.[16] The road was barricaded thereafter.
Beaconsfield Nicholson Road Easton Curtis Road Canada stopped providing Customs services in the 1960s and erected a sign directing travelers to the nearest open crossing. The US moved its border services to the Rivière de Chute crossing from a more central location on Ladner Road. The crossing was barricaded in the 1980s.
Hillandale Reid Road Monson Hill Monack Road This crossing closed in the 1940s. Aside from some light fixtures, no signs of the border crossing remains.
Listerville Mars Hill Road Mars Hill East Ridge Road Border inspection services were built around 1950, and closed around 1976. The US crossing was also known as Knoxford Line and was housed in a temporary trailer. The Canadian border station remains today as a private home.
Jackson Falls Foxcroft Road Littleton Foxcroft Road This crossing, known as "Starkey Corners" was closed in the 1950s. The US border station is now a private home.
Woodstock Old Houlton Road Houlton US 2 This border crossing was closed in the early 1970s when Interstate 95 was completed immediately to the north. The Canadian border station was destroyed. The US border station remains in disrepair.
Union Corner Green Road East Hodgdon Boundary Line Road This border crossing, known as "Union Corners", was closed in the late 1950s. The US border station has since been a private home. The Canadian station was torn down in the late 1960s.
Upper Mills Route 170 Baring Main Street Baring Bridge This crossing closed in the 1950s when the bridge was deemed unsafe. It was dismantled soon thereafter.

Canada Border Services Agency has implemented some changes on April 1, 2011. The result was the closure of Big Beaver, Franklin Center and Jamieson's line. Also, hours were reduced at East Pinnacle, Glen Sutton, Morses Line to 8am - 4pm.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is proposing the complete closure of Morses Line, VT[19] and Whitetail, MT , ports of entry. The review process is still ongoing.
