Driving into the United States from Canada is about to get slower.
An upcoming reconstruction project at the Peace Arch in Blaine means drivers will face backups for two years, as the U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility undergoes a $72 million overhaul.
During the project, which starts this fall and will last till the end of 2009, the inspection lanes will be reduced from seven to three or four.
At times, it could be fewer than that, said a customs official.
A major thrust of the project is preparing for increased traffic during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, B.C. Full Story - Synergen Consulting International
