This loan helped finance the construction of a bypass to run parallel to an older, heavily-traveled stretch of the National Highway, which passes through Old Harbor and links to the Bushy Park and Sandy Bay villages. The new 14-km single lane bypass has helped reduce vehicle operating costs and facilitate the transport of inputs, raw materials and finished goods.
