Expect heavy traffic crossing the border much of this week thanks to holidays on both sides of the border.

Wednesday, July 1, is Canada Day. It celebrates the unification of provinces under the name Canada and is considered similar to America’s Independence Day. It is even celebrated similarly, with fireworks and parades, and many businesses in that country will be closed.

Though Independence Day falls on Saturday this year, schools, governments and many businesses will observe it Friday. Expect a lot of places to be closed Friday, while some will be closed Saturday.

For updates on border traffic and wait times, go to wsdot.wa.gov/Traffic/Border/. For more information on border crossing require-ments, go to cbp.gov.
