VICTORIA – Phase one work at the Belleville Terminal Redevelopment Project is complete, marking a significant step toward the construction of a new, pre-clearance terminal building for Victoria’s inner harbour.
Redevelopment work for phase one began in March 2024 and included modifications to the Steamship Wharf and the building of a temporary terminal within the steamship building to house FRS Clipper and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, states a release. The temporary terminal enables ferry service to continue uninterrupted between Vancouver Island and Washington state during construction of the new terminal.
Now that phase one is complete, phase two is scheduled to start this spring. Work includes the demolition of existing Clipper terminal infrastructure and the construction of a new pre-clearance terminal building.
Phase two also includes the replacement of aging wharf facilities and construction of a new commercial goods processing facility.
According to the release, the province is working with the phase two design-build proponent and anticipates finalizing contract details in the coming months.
The project is expected to be complete in time for the 2028 tourism season.
