We have been reporting on major road renovations in the city for the past few months - and while it usually happens without publicity, municipal elections are coming, and it seems ground breakings are the thing.
Today ground was broken for the concreting of the battered Blue Marlin Boulevard. The Mayor explains the extent of this 1st phase of renovation works in the area.
Darrell Bradley, Belize City Mayor
"The people in this community and those persons who travels through this area will have a two-lane carriage way that will be a beautiful boulevard equip with earthen drains for the time being, but the second phase will cause us to do concrete drains and sidewalks, but that's not part of this first phase, but this will be a major improvement. We are also going to implement a round-about right behind me. If you can notice the exit of this area is rather wide and we are using that as a facility to increase the ease and flow of traffic in our area. While we are having a ground breaking for Blue Marlin Boulevard. This phase of the project includes the doing of several other streets including the extension of Vernon Street from Central American Boulevard to the George Price Highway which will be a significant upgrade; the doing of the entire length of Cleghorn Street and the doing of the entire length of Slaughter House Road."
The project is expected to be completed in 3 months.
