Piney-Pinecreek Border Airport, crossing the U.S.-Canada border, closes after 70 years due to low usage and high costs.

The Piney-Pinecreek Border Airport, located near Roseau, Minnesota, and Piney, Manitoba, with its runway crossing the U.S.-Canada border, will close on December 27 after 70 years due to low usage and high maintenance costs. The Minnesota Department of Transportation announced the closure, citing the expiration of an international agreement that won't be renewed. The airport was popular for Americans traveling to Canada for hunting and fishing, and staff could cross the border for work without regular customs checks.
