Pomerleau has been awarded a $304 million design-build contract by the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Transit for the Belleville Terminal Redevelopment Project Phase II.

The design-build delivery of this replacement ferry terminal in Victoria includes major new marine works to replace the old wharf as well as a new passenger building and adjacent civil works.

“At Pomerleau, we believe great infrastructure builds great communities”, said Philippe Adam, president and CEO at Pomerleau. “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”.

The Belleville Terminal Redevelopment Project – Phase II will create a safe, secure, and state of the art international gateway for both passengers and goods traveling between British Columbia and the United States. Designed to comply with Canada-U.S. Land, Rail, Marine and Air Transport Preclearance Agreement, the terminal will make travel faster and easier by allowing passengers to complete the customs and immigration process in Victoria prior to disembarking in the U.S.  Pomerleau will work closely with the province, Indigenous Nations, and key project stakeholders to finalize the terminal design and deliver this critical infrastructure.

Stantec will serve as the lead designer for Phase II of the project as part of the design-build team with Pomerleau. This phase will demolish the existing Clipper Terminal infrastructure and construct a new consolidated preclearance terminal building with modern border security standards.

The new terminal will be located within Victoria’s Inner Harbour, on the existing site of the Belleville Terminal. It will include new passenger waiting areas, a commercial goods processing facility and commercial retail space.

Construction of the new landmark terminal will begin later this summer. The project is expected to be completed in 2028.
