Canada operated a station about a mile north of the border 1904–1905 and closer to the border 1914–1923, 1926, 1931–1941 and from the mid-1940s. [24] In the 1970s, both the US and Canada constructed new border facilities to better accommodate regular recreational traffic.
U.S. Highway 52 (US 52) is a 362-mile-long (583 km) United States Numbered Highway in the U.S. state of North Dakota, which travels from the Canada–United States border east to the Red River at Fargo. The highway connects the cities of Minot and Fargo and travels concurrent with Interstate 94 (I-94) between Jamestown and the Minnesota state line.
The border patrol station at Portal was established in 1924. [3] The Gateway Cities Golf Club course, which was created in 1931, is adjacent to this crossing. While eight of the nine holes are in Canada, the ninth green (along with the clubhouse) is in the US, requiring golfers to hit a shot across an international border. [4]
In 1932, the function was moved to the border, adopting the name of Goodlands, the nearest post office. That year, a residence and office accommodation were erected. [1] Canada replaced the 1970s-era Goodlands border station in 2014. [2] In 2020, the former border hours of 8am–10pm reduced, becoming 9am–5pm. [3]
Former Canadian border station, Northgate. In 1962, the building of Highway 8 realigned the road to 0.5 miles (0.8 km) west of the previous crossing. [4] 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 entire route of US 281 within the state was North Dakota Highway 4. [2] In 1934, US 281 replaced Highway 4 south of Rock Lake. US 281 was extended north to the Canada–United States border between 1939 [3] and 1940, [4] replacing the remainder of Highway 4.
The office operated under the administrative oversight of the Port of North Portal. A facility was not constructed at the border until 1937. The status was upgraded to Port of Estevan in 1950. [1] Canada built its double-canopy border station in 1972. A rebuild plan issued in 2017 has yet to be finalized. [2]
A North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) corporal was in charge during the first year and the Port of North Portal provided administrative oversight. In 1912, the office moved into a government building. In 1935, a combined residence/office was erected, which was replaced in 1958. [1] The crossing was renamed Torquay around the 1960s. [citation needed]
