The border crossing at Emerson, Manitoba and Pembina, North Dakota is the fifth
For many years, Emerson was among very few communities in Canada to have multiple border crossings. It was serviced by the current port of entry, originally designated as West Lynne, and the now-closed [[Noyes–Emerson East Border Crossing|Emerson East port of entry opposite Noyes, Minnesota]]. In its original configuration, Highway 75 ended at the Emerson East crossing, the busier of the two crossings during the early and mid parts of the 20th century, where it continued south as [[U.S. Route 75]]. Travelers wishing to enter [[North Dakota]] turned south onto a short road leading to the border (later designated [[Manitoba Highway 29|Highway 29]]) which continued into North Dakota as [[U.S. Route 81]]. The importance of the Emerson East crossing declined after [[Interstate 29]] superseded U.S. 81 in 1957 and subsequent realignment of Highways 75 and 29 to serve the West Lynne-Pembina crossing. Dwindling use of the Emerson East port of entry prompted the Canadian government to close the border station in June 2003. The American government closed the Noyes port of entry three years later.<ref>[http://www.canhighways.com/MB/75.php Highway 75 at Canhighways.com]</ref>
