The Westhope–Coulter Border Crossing connects the towns of Westhope, North Dakota and Melita, Manitoba on the Canada–United States border. The crossing is reached by road by U.S. Route 83 in Bottineau County, North Dakota on the American side and Manitoba Highway 83 in the Municipality of Two Borders on the Canadian side.
History
Border inspection services were first conducted at this crossing in 1931. The US first built a permanent inspection station at the border in 1937. That brick veneer roadside border station was replaced by a new building in the 1974, and that facility was replaced by a large modern border station using Recovery Act funds in 2011.[1] Canada's Coulter border station, which was built in 1947, was replaced in 2013.
