For reasons that aren't of national security, the Canada-USA border crossing in Cartwright has been closed indefinitely after asbestos was found at the Canadian facility.

The closure only affects northbound traffic heading into Canada from the U-S, while southbound travellers who are leaving the country will not be affected.

A spokesperson for the Canadian Border Services Agency says once a solution has been found, the public will be advised of when the crossing will re-open.
