Travellers headed to the United States from B.C. were able to use the Sumas border crossing again on Monday, after widespread flooding forced its closure on Saturday.
DriveBC said the crossing was reopened in both directions around 10 a.m.
However, it was still more than an hour before the crossing was actually usable.
The Washington State Department of Traffic (WSDOT) said SR-9 initially remained closed despite the crossing being reopened, as crews worked to inspect it for flood damage.
