Pueblo Nuevo Bridge Still Under Construction as September Deadline Approaches

Construction on the Pueblo Nuevo Bridge in Corozal District continues to progress. Lincoln E. Eiley recently shared aerial photos on Facebook that highlight the ongoing development of the bridge, which spans the New River. The bridge serves as a crucial link between Corozal Town Ferry Road and the Progresso/Copper Bank/Chunox/Sarteneja Roads.

This bridge, which is a collaborative effort between the Government of Taiwan and the Belize Government, is a key component of a broader project spearheaded by the Overseas Engineering and Construction Company (OECC) to upgrade and pave 27 miles of road connecting Corozal Town to Sarteneja. Although the Pueblo Nuevo Bridge was initially slated for completion by September, construction is still underway.
