Revitalized Yarmouth Ferry Terminal: A Gateway to Nova Scotias Charm

Tourists and residents now have a reliable, efficient, and enjoyable travel option between Nova Scotia and the United States - the Yarmouth Ferry Terminal. Thanks to investments by Infrastructure Canada, the terminal has undergone significant upgrades, promising a seamless experience for all travelers.

The relocation and upgrade of service provider toll booths streamlines the entry process, ensuring passengers and vehicles alike can embark on their journeys without a hitch.

Lighting improvements and the integration of advanced electrical systems, including state-of-the-art CCTV and Public Awareness systems, bolster safety and security measures. Extensive upgrades and repairs to the transfer bridge and pontoon also ensure the safety and integrity of ferry operations, giving travelers peace of mind during their voyage.

Asphalt improvements guarantee a smooth transit for both vehicles and pedestrians. This enhancement promises a hassle-free journey for all travelers, contributing to a more seamless overall experience.

Strategic upgrades to the Canadian Border Services Agency’s (CBSA) Primary Inspection Line Booths have significantly improved the customs process. Additional modifications to the existing terminal building cater specifically to CBSA's triage and retention requirements, rendering the terminal more functional and accommodating for all passengers.

With these revitalizations, the Yarmouth Ferry Terminal not only ensures a safe, efficient, and enjoyable travel experience, but also provides a significant boost to the local tourism industry. Both tourists and residents can rely on this vital link for their travel needs between Nova Scotia and the United States.
