This crossing is not heavily trafficked, and is among the few that is not open on Sundays. The inspection canopy shown in this photo was dismantled shortly after the photo was taken in 1996. The border station has since been painted grey. A Remote Video Inspection System operated at this location between 1997 and 2001 to enable people to enter the US when the border station was not open. In 2002, a gate was installed to prevent people from crossing when the border stations are closed.
