The Dunseith LPOE Inspection Facility is one of five inspection facilities that stretch along the central portion of North Dakota. The port inspects privately owned vehicles, commercial vehicles and buses. In 2020, 24,109 POVs’ and 24,814 commercial trucks’ primary inspections occurred at the port for the year.
The port was constructed in 1961 and operates seven days a week, 24 hours a day, to inspect commercial and noncommercial traffic in Rolette County, North Dakota. The current facility needs to be upgraded to improve and support the operations of federal inspection agencies. The project would provide a new main port building, commercial and noncommercial primary and secondary inspection areas, outbound inspection, safety for livestock inspections, and improved queuing for International Peace Garden patrons. Building design would meet the operational needs of the federal agencies present and aim to architecturally connect with the local community, climate and geography.

On July 22, 2024, GSA awarded a Design/Build contract for $94 million to McGough Construction that will replace all existing outmoded buildings at the Dunseith Land Port of Entry with more secure, efficient, and high-capacity new facilities. The new facility will provide operational space, reduce traffic congestion, increase processing capacity, enhance security, facilitate trade and travel volumes, and provide safer conditions for employees and travelers. Previously, GSA awarded a $746,212 base contract plus options to Jacobs Technology, Inc. in July 2022. The option exercised was for construction management and commissioning services valued at $2.5 million. Jacobs will assist GSA in requirements development, acquisition, design reviews and construction management for the project.
Dunseith Final Environmental Assessment [PDF - 5 MB] and Dunseith Finding of No Significant Impact [PDF - 298 KB] were completed for the project in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act.
No current work is being done to the actual site at this time. The project will help improve traffic flow both through the border to Canada as well as the entrance to the International Peace Garden that is between the U.S. and Canadian border stations. This enhancement will increase border security while decreasing wait times for travelers.
The Dunseith LPOE project is in the design phase. News articles or press releases will be posted here.

We received $3.4 billion to invest in our nation’s infrastructure and competitiveness. The law provides funding for LPOE modernization projects that will create new good-paying jobs, bolster safety and security, and make our economy more resilient to supply chain challenges — all while serving as models for sustainability and innovation.
Visit the North Dakota LPOE page for an overview of BIL projects there, as well as priorities, benefits and further information.
We will increase energy and water efficiency (including renewable energy and fossil fuel free measures), adhere to sustainable design principles, and minimize climate risk liabilities above the minimum performance criteria in a manner that is life cycle cost-effective.
We will fully modernize the port with a new administration building, new pedestrian processing lanes, new primary building, new passenger vehicle lanes, and new commercial vehicle inspection area. The project will help improve traffic flow and border security while decreasing wait times for travelers.
