The Northgate Border Crossing connects the cities of Bowbells, North Dakota and Alameda, Saskatchewan on the Canada–US border. This border crossing opened in 1962, when a north-south highway was built which passed a half mile west of the small town of Northgate, North Dakota. The abandoned US and Canada border stations stand in ruins at the former crossing. After being idle for years, the Canadian National Railway upgraded its tracks at this crossing to support rail traffic from the Bakken oil field. The US upgraded its border station on Highway 8 in 2004.
