The Lynden–Aldergrove crossing connects east Langley, British Columbia, with Lynden, Washington, along Highway 13. It is the Fraser Valley's quiet passage: farming communities on both sides, light passenger traffic, and none of the crush of Peace Arch or Pacific Highway. For trips between the eastern metro and Whatcom County it works as a rural shortcut — and its hourly statistics confirm how steady its line runs.
