Sumas - Huntingdon Border Crossing

Sumas Huntingdon border crossing 

Sumas Huntingdon border crossing

The Sumas – Huntingdon border crossing is one of the busiest in Washington State. Despite the high volume of cars passing through, it has lighter traffic compared to other high-volume border crossings such as the Peace Arch Border Crossing. There are currently eight traffic lanes entering Canada: four for passenger vehicles, two for commercial, one for NEXUS travelers, and one for buses. Going to the US, there are seven available lanes: two for commercial and five for passenger vehicles (including the NEXUS and READY lanes). The availability of the lanes is subject to change. Read the signs carefully before choosing one.
