This project aims at easing travel constraints and improving road safety for some 32,000 people. This will be done by reconstructing the entire 85 km-long Hummingbird Highway highway and building of new bridges, thus providing a regional road network between the capital Belmopan and Dangriga town. As the stretch passes through major agricultural, industrial and tourism areas, the project is expected to enhance economic activities and thus reduce poverty.
