US border security closes Alberta's historic Border Road

Southern Alberta residents will lose access to a historically used "Border Road" due to U.S. border security measures. The road, a vital link for farmers and locals between Alberta and Montana, will be closed to Canadians starting July 2026. This change impacts generations of cross-border community ties and property access. The decision stems from U.S. border security policies. Alberta plans to build a replacement road on the Canadian side once funding is secured.
