The Dunseith LPOE is a full service port located in Rolette County, North Dakota. Constructed in 1961, the port operates seven days a week, 24 hours a day, to inspect and process privately-owned vehicles, commercial vehicles and buses entering the United States from Southwestern Manitoba.
The current facility no longer supports the operations of the federal inspection agencies who staff the port. The new, modern facility will include a main port building and areas for primary and secondary inspection for vehicles entering the U.S. and outbound inspection for vehicles exiting the U.S. The new facility will provide operational space, reduce traffic congestion, increase processing capacity, enhance security, facilitate trade and travel volumes, and provide safer conditions for employees and travelers.

We received $3.4 billion to invest in our nation’s infrastructure and competitiveness. The law provides funding for LPOE modernization projects that will create new good-paying jobs, bolster safety and security, and make our economy more resilient to supply chain challenges.
Visit the North Dakota LPOE page for an overview of IIJA projects there, as well as priorities, benefits and further information.
We will fully modernize the port with a new administration building, new pedestrian processing lanes, new primary building, new passenger vehicle lanes, and new commercial vehicle inspection area. The project will help improve traffic flow and border security while decreasing wait times for travelers.
