CBP identifies the U.S.-bound port as Highgate Springs, Vermont. CBSA calls the matching Canada-bound office “St-Armand/Philipsburg”, after the nearby Quebec communities, and locates it at 10 Route 133 in Saint-Armand.

Quick answers

What are the NEXUS lane hours?

The Canada-bound NEXUS lane runs all day, every day. U.S.-bound, the dedicated lane opens 6:30–8:00 am daily and again 3:00–6:00 pm on Fridays. Outside those windows members use regular inspection. CBSA publishes these hours; CBP’s port page does not give a separate schedule.

Is Highgate Springs open 24 hours?

Yes. The main crossing tracked on this page is open 24 hours a day, every day. The two smaller stations managed by the Highgate Springs port — Alburgh Springs and Morses Line — keep shorter daytime schedules, so this card’s hours do not apply to them.

Can you walk or cycle across?

Do not plan on it. GSA says the Highgate Springs port has no facilities for pedestrian traffic. For questions about walking or cycling, call CBP at Highgate Springs at +1 802-868-2778.

Highgate and Champlain in August

In the matched August checks, Highgate’s U.S.-bound car wait averaged about 16 minutes, against 12 at Champlain–St-Bernard-de-Lacolle.

Standard car lanes into the U.S., 16–29 August 2026
CrossingAverage reported wait
Highgate Springs–St-Armand16 min
Champlain–St-Bernard-de-Lacolle12 min

Both crossings had usable readings for 121 of the 336 hourly checks. The averages cover those checks only; the missing hours could change the comparison.

How the comparison was calculated

The stored CBP car estimates were aligned at half past each hour, Eastern time, using the agency’s passenger-lane timestamps. Both ports and lanes had to be open, with numeric estimates less than an hour old. The averages are rounded to whole minutes.

For a trip today, compare current Highgate and Champlain waits with the driving time for each route.

The Alburg-area crossings

“Alburg” names do not all identify the same record. CBP lists Alburgh Springs Station and Morses Line under the Highgate Springs port, both open 8:00 am–4:00 pm daily. CBSA matches them to its Clarenceville and Morses Line offices.
