Land Border Crossing Project
As part of its commitment to border infrastructure enhancements, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will upgrade or replace select ports of entry to improve the border crossing experience for travellers, provide border services officers with upgraded infrastructure and technology, and deliver on the border of the future.
About the Land Border Crossing Project
The Land Border Crossing Project (LBCP) is a multi-phase infrastructure project to replace select ports of entry (POE) across Canada that are at the end of their life cycle.
Larger ports will have major infrastructure enhancements, while smaller ports of entry will be completely rebuilt.
The new port of entry designs will respect the Agency’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, adapting to changing climate and protecting the environment. Their designs will focus on operational flexibility so they can adapt and grow with the changing needs of the border of the future.
The CBSA will make every effort to limit disruptions to travellers during the construction process. The CBSA will inform all stakeholders of potential impacts and disruptions to services and operations.
