WHATCOM COUNTY, Wash. – Border crossings in Whatcom County will get some big upgrades thanks to the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed last year.
The General Services Administration says the truck crossing in Blaine will be increased from six to ten lanes and will see other upgrades.
The Lynden crossing will get two additional private vehicle inspection lanes and three new commercial lanes.
The Sumas crossing will add one private lane and two more for commercial vehicles.
The bill passed by congress and signed by President Biden last fall provides a total of $3.4 billion for improvements to land ports of entry.
