维多利亚市中心新渡轮码头的设计建造合同已授予Pomerleau公司，该码头将于今年夏天开工。

初期工程将于六月底启动，这座地标性新码头的主体工程将于今年夏季晚些时候开工。竣工后，新码头将为往返维多利亚市中心的渡轮旅客提供更舒适、更顺畅的体验。交通运输

部长迈克·法恩沃思表示：“新的贝尔维尔码头将为前往维多利亚和南岛的游客提供更顺畅、更安全的旅行体验，并支持当地就业、商业和地区经济。” “二十多年来，现代化的渡轮码头一直是社区和各级政府的共同目标。这一重要里程碑使我们距离在未来几十年提供更优质的渡轮服务和更便捷的出行又近了一步。”

新码头的建设将包括拆除现有的Clipper码头基础设施，并建造一座符合现代边境安全标准的新预检码头大楼。该工程还包括更换老化的码头设施和建设新的商业货物处理设施。

维多利亚州议员威尔·格里夫斯表示：“作为商品、服务和旅游的国际门户，加强温哥华岛和华盛顿州之间的安全、保障和贸易对加拿大经济至关重要。我们的政府期待着预清关码头和商业货物处理设施的建设，这将加强我们对可持续经济的承诺，并支持大维多利亚地区的本地旅游业。”

新的预先清关航站楼将符合加美陆路、铁路、海运和空运预先清关协议，并允许乘客在抵达美国之前在维多利亚州完成海关和移民程序，从而使旅行变得更快、更轻松。

通过竞争性资格要求和提案要求流程，Pomerleau Inc. 获得了一份价值 3.04 亿美元的设计-建造合同。由于复杂的岩土和地震条件、场地限制和需要大规模修复的严重土壤污染，项目总成本从 2024 年批准的 3.31 亿美元预算有所增加。其他因素包括通货膨胀和防范与钢铁和其他产品关税相关的经济不确定性。联邦政府已确认将增加对该项目的投入至 4500 万美元以上。该项目的新成本为 4.16 亿美元。

贝尔维尔航站楼重建项目位于埃斯奎莫尔特族和松希斯族代表的勒昆根族（Lekwungen）的领土内。项目团队与两个民族都保持着合作与尊重。

该项目预计于2028年竣工。

几十年来，商会一直积极支持贝尔维尔码头的现代化改造，我们很高兴看到该项目在竣工过程中不断取得新的里程碑。鉴于经济面临诸多不确定性，我们支持该项目，将其视为对大维多利亚未来的重要投资，也证明了Clipper和Coho为我们地区带来的价值。”

Construction will begin this summer for the new ferry terminal in downtown Victoria, following the awarding of a design-build contract to Pomerleau Inc.

Early work will begin by the end of June with major construction of the new landmark terminal to begin later in the summer. Once complete, the new terminal will provide a more comfortable and seamless experience for those travelling to and from downtown Victoria by ferry.

“The new Belleville terminal will provide a smoother and more secure travel experience for tourists coming to Victoria and the south Island, supporting local jobs, businesses and our region’s economy,” said Mike Farnworth, Minister of Transportation and Transit. “A modern ferry terminal has been a goal of the community and all levels of government for over two decades. This major milestone brings us another step closer to offering improved ferry services and more convenient travel for decades to come.”

Construction of the new facility will involve demolishing existing Clipper terminal infrastructure and building a new pre-clearance terminal building with modern border-security standards. It also includes replacing aging wharf facilities and building a new commercial goods processing facility.

“As an international gateway for goods, services and tourism, enhancing safety, security and trade between Vancouver Island and Washington state is integral to Canada’s economy,” said Will Greaves, MP for Victoria. “Our government looks forward to the construction of the pre-clearance terminal and commercial goods processing facility, which will strengthen our commitment to a sustainable economy and support local tourism in Greater Victoria.”

The new pre-clearance terminal will comply with the Canada-U.S. Land, Rail, Marine and Air Transport Preclearance Agreement, and 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.

Through competitive request-for-qualifications and request-for-proposal processes, Pomerleau Inc. was awarded a $304-million design-build contract. The overall project cost has increased from the $331 million budget that was approved in 2024, due to complex geotechnical and seismic conditions, site constraints and significant soil contamination that will require extensive remediation. Other factors include inflation and safeguarding against economic uncertainty related to tariffs on steel and other products. The federal government has confirmed it will increase its contribution to more than $45 million for the project. The new cost of the project is $416 million.

The Belleville Terminal Redevelopment Project is taking place within the territories of the l?k?w???n (Lekwungen) people, represented by the Esquimalt Nation and Songhees Nation. The project team is working collaboratively and respectfully with both Nations.

The project is expected to be completed in 2028.

Quick Facts:

Phase 1 of the Belleville Terminal Redevelopment Project is complete.
Key upgrades completed during Phase 1 include:
the expansion and reconfiguration of the Steamship wharf;
renovations and an expansion to the Steamship building; and,
enhancements to the Black Ball building and property to ensure Clipper, Black Ball Ferry Line, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Canada Border Services Agency can continue operating during Phase 2 construction.

These improvements were designed to ensure uninterrupted ferry service between Vancouver Island and Washington state during the next stage of construction.
