New ferry terminal in Victoria’s inner harbour begins major construction this summer

Construction of a new ferry terminal in downtown Victoria, BC’s capital, is set to begin later this month. Transportation and Transit Minister Mike Farnworth announced the project, saying the new Belleville Terminal will add a new travel experience for travelers traveling between Victoria and the South Island.

It will boost local jobs, businesses and the region’s economy in downtown Victoria. Farnworth described it as a modern ferry terminal and said it has been a goal of the community and all levels of government for the past two decades.

It will provide safe transportation for goods and tourism as an international gateway between Vancouver Island and Washington. The project is expected to be completed in 2028.
