History
Canada first established Gretna as a Port of Entry in 1883.
This crossing is frequently closed due to flooding of the Pembina River, most recently in 2009,[1] 2011,[2] 2013[3] and 2017.[4]
The US border station of Neche, which was built in 1965, was replaced in 2011. The Gretna border station was built in 1981. It was slated to be replaced in 2017.[5]
