Roberts Bank Terminal 2, S-Bend

The Roberts Bank Terminal 2 (RBT2) project is a proposed expansion of the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority’s container capacity in Delta, BC. As part of this major infrastructure initiative, the S-Bend Project will play a key supporting role. Located northwest of the existing Roberts Bank terminal, the S-Bend area includes critical road, rail, and underground utility infrastructure. The proposed overpass and road network will maintain uninterrupted access to the existing Deltaport and Westshore terminals while enabling future access to the new RBT2 container terminal—supporting efficient, safe, and integrated terminal operations.
