Less Than a Week after Opening, Accident on the New Haulover Bridge

The spanking new Haulover Bridge was opened to vehicular traffic less than a week ago – four days to be exact, and already it has seen its first traffic accident. The fender bender occurred right around the five o’clock peak hour this evening and created a bottleneck for traffic on both approaches of the bridge. The two vehicles were travelling in the same direction, heading into Belize City when one, a red SUV crashed into the back of another SUV – a white one. The new Haulover Bridge, will be officially opened in March, when the railing for the pedestrian walk will be complete.
