Remate Road Officially Inaugurated  

The Government of Belize officially inaugurated the Remate Road in the Corozal District. The road is also referred to as the Corozal bypass. It serves several communities in rural Corozal. It is also used as a short cut to get to the Belize/Mexico border. Millions were invested in the construction of the road, as Prime Minister Briceño pointed out following today’s ceremony. He also spoke on how this upgrade will serve the communities in the areas.

 

Prime Minister John Briceño

“I think that for those of us that lives here in the north  they will think about the Remate Road or the Corozal Bypass that during the dry season dust and during the rainy season mud. So many times we try to avoid using this road. But as I pointed out earlier this is Plan Belize at work, that the foundation of plan Belize is about people, how is it that we are going to make the lives of people better. And we are doing the Remate Road and upgrading the Phillip Goldsom Highway is all about that. We are spending about ninety-three million dollars of we are grateful to the United Kingdom approximately around thirty-seven million dollars as a grant and working with the CDB. And what is important to point out is that when would you hear the Ministry of Infrastructure Development or the Ministry of Works as it was then, building something for less than it was budgeted. That is exactly what MIDH has done. They had considerable savings that they could use in other areas.”
