About this crossing
Pembina–Emerson joins Manitoba with North Dakota where Canada's Highway 75 meets Interstate 29 — the Winnipeg–Fargo–Minneapolis corridor. It is the dominant port of the eastern prairies, with continuous operation, heavy grain-and-manufacturing cargo, and the passenger flow of Manitoba's capital region. Waits usually run short compared with Ontario or BC crossings, rising around holidays on either side.
