The Sweetgrass–Coutts Border Crossing connects the town of Sweet Grass, Montana, with Coutts, Alberta, on the Canada–United States border. It is the busiest port of entry in the state of Montana, and is the location where Interstate 15 meets Alberta Highway 4.
The port of entry was established in 1890 when a narrow gauge railroad was completed by the Galt Companies that delivered coal from Lethbridge, Alberta, to Great Falls, Montana. In 2004, the US and Canada completed work on a massive joint border inspection station which houses the inspection agencies of both countries. This crossing is open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
