The new Rouses Point LPOE modernization replaces the existing LPOE which is located approximately one-half mile south of the border. The new LPOE will improve important border security, CBP operations, and CBP Officer safety requirements in a number of areas. This project will facilitate the development of one of only three international rail passenger crossing points in the U.S., and will be the only location that enables passenger inspections at the LPOE. Sustainability objectives include carefully designing the LPOE to minimally disturb the ecology of the regulated wetland on which it is situated, designing an all-electric net-zero energy-ready facility that includes geothermal heating and cooling, and using carbon sequestering mass-timber building materials.

Following two global community engagement and scoping meetings, and two peer reviews under the Bet365 Design Excellence program, the concept design was approved March 24, 2023. The focus is on incorporating suggestions from the community, and freight and passenger railroad requirements. Concurrent activities include concept design phase scope and cost alignment; wetland disturbance mitigation planning with state and federal regulatory authorities; and development of the environmental assessment report in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act.

This project will improve the connection between the local communities and commercial metropolitan areas of both countries and on both sides of the border, which will improve the conditions for economic, cultural, and familial connections. The people who live along the border depend on this cross-border community engagement, often crossing through the ports daily for jobs, mutual aid, and everyday life.
