See the hour-by-hour breakdownAbout this crossing
Pacific Highway connects Surrey, British Columbia, with Blaine, Washington, a couple of kilometers east of the Peace Arch. It is the workhorse of the Vancouver–Seattle corridor: commercial trucks cross here, along with a large share of NEXUS travelers, in facilities roomier than the park crossing's. When Peace Arch fills with weekend day-trippers, Pacific Highway usually moves better for anyone heading down Highway 15 to Interstate 5.
