Government Announces Strategic Investments to Facilitate Cross-border Trade in British Columbia
Canada Border Services Agency Apr 15, 2014
The Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, Steven Blaney, announced that Lark Projects Ltd of Surrey, British Columbia has been awarded a $17.7M contract for infrastructure improvements to the Aldergrove port of entry in British Columbia. These investments will include additional Primary Inspection Lanes (PILs), including a dedicated NEXUS lane, a larger traveler processing facility, and a commercial examination warehouse.
Minister Blaney also announced the opening of an additional NEXUS lane at the Pacific Highway port of entry. This new lane will be used to process NEXUS members during high-volume periods and, as regular lanes, at other times. There are now three NEXUS lanes at the Pacific Highway crossing, bringing the total to eight lanes available to NEXUS members in British Columbia. This new lane is another example of how Canada is helping to improve the flow of legitimate travel and trade across the shared Canada–U.S. border in accordance with the Beyond the Border Action Plan.
Quick Facts
- The CBSA has invested over $65M in expanding and modernizing ports of entry in the Cascade Gateway region in the last five years.
- The Aldergrove Redevelopment Project completes the Agency’s investments in the Cascade Gateway region for the time being. All other ports of entry have either been replaced or expanded.
- The $17.7M contract was awarded by Public Works and Government Services Canada following a competitive process launched on Buyandsell.gc.ca, the Government of Canada’s procurement website.
- Over 21,000 cars and over 2,500 trucks cross through the Cascade Gateway every day, moving over $40M (USD) in daily trade.
- NEXUS members enjoy expedited travel across the Canada-U.S. border at 15 other major land ports of entry as well as eight international airports and approximately 430 marine locations across Canada.
