The Noyes–Emerson East Border Crossing is a closed Canada–United States port of entry that formerly connected the communities of Noyes, Minnesota, and Emerson, Manitoba.
With the rise in popularity of automobile travel and the construction of the Jefferson Highway, which crossed into Canada at Noyes, the United States opened a border station on the east side of the river in the 1910s.
The shift in traffic was further compounded when the Manitoba government realigned the PTH 75/29 junction at Emerson in 1985 to serve the Pembina–West Lynne facilities.
[2] Although the Noyes–Emerson East ports of entry were still moderately used in the early 2000s, mainly by local residents, the Canadian government closed its border station as a cost-saving measure in 2003.
[3] Today, all cross-border traffic wishing to continue on PTH 75 in Manitoba or US 75 in Minnesota must detour through the Pembina–Emerson (West Lynne) ports of entry.
The adjacent rail crossing and inspection facilities remain in operation and are managed by the Pembina and Emerson ports of entry.
