Mexican President Felipe Calderon will end his six year term in a matter of days. And one of his last acts was to open the new Belize - Mexico bridge, dubbed the "Chactemal" Bridge and the Subteniente López II border point.
He did that on Friday evening and in his address he said that the entire project cost nearly 180 million pesos.
Infrastructure at the facility was improved and state of the art equipment was purchased.
Deputy Prime Minister represented Belize at the event.
Now, the Belize side is still not connected to the new bridge and border facility. And that's because while the Mexicans built the bridge - Belize hasn't been able to come up with the money to build the half mile of road to connect our border station to it.
