Ambassador Lorne McDonough, the chief executive officer of the CDF, notes that the grant of US$2.3 million (BZ$4.6 million) for the replacement of the bridge and expected widening of the highway ensures that traffic and safety concerns are addressed as well as environmental compliance, not to mention development of business through the expanded highway.

Ambassador McDonough also announced the release of funds for a group of projects intended to help bring Belize into the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME).vlcsnap-2015-05-26-16h31m29s209
