Travellers visiting the United States will have a little less time to cross the border beginning later this month.

The Nelway crossing south of Salmo and the Carson point-of-entry southwest of Grand Forks are changing their operating hours. The new schedule will be 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week, including holidays.

Previously, the borders were open until midnight. The Paterson crossing south of Rossland will still remain open 24 hours a day.

The new schedules come into effect Nov. 26.
