Quick answers

Is the Jackman–Armstrong border crossing open 24 hours?

Yes. CBP’s live wait-time feed lists the Jackman, Maine port of entry as open 24 hours a day, and CBSA’s Armstrong office in Saint-Théophile, Quebec is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for both travellers and commercial traffic. CBP’s board lists a maximum of three passenger lanes and two commercial lanes and rarely staffs them all, so a published schedule does not rule out a temporary closure or weather delay. Check the official boards before a time-sensitive trip.

Why does Jackman–Armstrong show no wait time heading into Canada?

CBSA does not publish its Armstrong office in the border wait-times feed, so as of 11 August 2026 the Canada-bound direction on this page reads “Unavailable”. That reflects a reporting gap, not a closed crossing. CBSA staffs the Saint-Théophile office 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for travellers and commercial traffic alike; the missing number is simply not something the agency reports electronically. CBP does publish real passenger and commercial numbers for the U.S.-bound Jackman port, so a reported figure appears in only one direction here.

Can you walk across Jackman–Armstrong?

No official source cited on this page settles that question. CBP lists no pedestrian lane at the Jackman port, but that is a reporting gap rather than a stated prohibition, and CBSA’s own wait-time vocabulary has no pedestrian code for any of its offices, Armstrong included. Rather than guess, call CBSA’s Border Information Service on 1-800-461-9999 before planning to cross on foot. This is a small rural port and not one to arrive at unprepared.

Hours, lanes and capacity

Both sides operate around the clock. CBP lists the Jackman, Maine port of entry as open 24 hours a day with its port status marked Open. CBSA staffs the Armstrong office in Saint-Théophile, Quebec 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for both travellers and commercial traffic.

The border-agency pages reviewed do not publish a toll, but no route-owner statement confirming the toll status was found, so treat it as unconfirmed. Neither agency publishes a NEXUS, SENTRI or FAST lane at this crossing. CBP’s board lists a maximum of three passenger lanes and two commercial lanes. That maximum is the ceiling, not what you will meet. On an ordinary evening the feed reports a single lane of each open. With one lane running each way, a slow inspection or a stopped truck can back up the whole line quickly.

About this corridor

Jackman–Armstrong carries the main road between Quebec City and Maine: Quebec Route 173 becomes US Route 201 at the border. It is the only crossing on this corridor, so there is no neighbouring crossing to compare it against on this route.

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics recorded 110,534 personal vehicles entering the United States here in 2025, all through the single U.S.-bound passenger lane this crossing publishes.
