This morning, CDB President Dr. Gene Leon, accompanied by his delegation, Government of Belize representatives and engineers, conducted an inspection of the ongoing works on the Coastal Road. The group stopped at various locations including the newly constructed Manatee Bridge and the Gales Point Manatee junction. The project is partially funded by a BZ$68 million grant from the Government of the United Kingdom through the CDB-administered United Kingdom Caribbean Infrastructure Fund and a BZ$73.2 million loan from CDB. The proposed upgrade includes the construction and paving of the 36 miles of road and the rehabilitation and reconstruction of 10 bridges across various creeks and rivers along the highway.
