BC Ferries will be undertaking rehabilitation work on the vehicle loading ramp at the Snug Cove terminal beginning October 29, 2026. The project is expected to continue through March 1, 2027.
The work will involve replacing and refurbishing remaining ramp components that were not included in a similar rehabilitation project completed in 2024. Floor beams within the ramp structure will be removed and replaced to help ensure the continued safe and reliable operation of the terminal.
To avoid impacts to ferry service, construction will take place overnight, after the final sailing has departed and before the first sailing arrives each day. BC Ferries advises that the construction methods being used this time are expected to result in less noise than the similar work that took place in 2024.
