Belize City Mayor Darrell Bradley says the project will allow them to address necessary improvements to drainage in the area.

Previously work was done in the Belama Phase 4 area in suburban Belize City.

The project in total costs $20 million.

The Mayor also says the improvements will help make the City more climate-resilient, a priority for Central Government and his administration.

The project will be carried out by Medina’s Construction.
