LYNDEN, Wash. — A new border barrier has been installed near Lynden.
The Border Patrol told KING5 the cable fence is an effort to curb criminal enterprises and deter illegal vehicle entries in both directions.
The new pole and cable barrier runs between Boundary Road in the U.S. and 0 Avenue in B.C.
That’s an area that has been used as a meeting place for families and friends during the coronavirus pandemic.
Non-essential travel has been closed between the US and Canada since March.
