News Alert: US, Canada, Mexico Border Closures Extended To Nov. 21

The closure of the U.S. land borders with Canada and Mexico will remain closed for nonessential travel until at least Nov. 21, officials from the three countries announced on Monday.

Cross-border trucking and rail operations should remain unaffected by the continued closures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The U.S., Canada and Mexico closed their shared land borders for nonessential travel in March. 

The restrictions haven't had a significant direct impact on freight volumes. In fact, the closures have significantly reduced traffic at border crossings.
