A Major Step Toward Modernizing BC’s International Marine Gateway
Pomerleau is proud to announce that it has finalized contract negotiations with the Province of British Columbia for the Belleville Terminal Redevelopment Project. This transformative infrastructure initiative will modernize the province’s international ferry terminal located in the heart of Victoria’s Inner Harbour.
A New Era for Cross-Border Travel
The Belleville Terminal Redevelopment Project aims to create a secure, accessible, and welcoming international terminal for ferry passengers traveling between British Columbia and the United States. The new terminal will comply with the latest requirements from both the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), ensuring a seamless and efficient preclearance process.
Collaborative Planning and Indigenous Engagement
During the development phase, Pomerleau will collaborate closely with the Province, Indigenous Nations, and key stakeholders. The planning phase includes finalizing the terminal design, setting the construction schedule, managing risks, and defining cost-sharing models.
At Pomerleau, we believe great infrastructure builds great communities. The Belleville Terminal Redevelopment Project is critical to the region and will provide a safe and secure modern port of entry - we are very proud to bring our technical expertise and collaborative approach to the table.
