PROJECT DESCRIPTION

KENNETH G. WARD (LYNDEN) LAND PORT OF ENTRY

The Land Port of Entry in Lynden Washington, occupying approximately 10.3 acres, is located along the US-Canadian border at the northern end of Washington State Route (SR) 539 (aka Guide-Meridian Road). The port, which is approximately six miles north of the city of Lynden, Washington, is located approximately ten miles to the east of the Peace Arch and Pacific Highway Land Ports of Entry (which are in nearby Blaine Washington), and is located approximately ten miles to the west of the Sumas Land Port of Entry. The existing port in Lynden was last modernized in the late 1980s.

The port operates 16 hours a day (8:00 AM - midnight), 365 days a year processing commercial, privately owned vehicles, buses and a limited number of pedestrian crossings. The port operates as a permit-only commercial location, limiting commercial traffic to entities that are transporting no cargo or who have prescheduled limited (monetary value) loads. The construction of the new port cannot affect the operational mission of the existing Lynden Land Port of Entry.
The Design-Build contractor will be responsible for the complete design and construction of the
