Caution Urged as Haulover Bridge Works Begin

The Ministry of Infrastructure Development is urging those who travel the Belize River to exercise caution near the Haulover Bridge as replacement works get underway. The Ministry of Infrastructure Development announced today that two foundation piers will be constructed in the river at a location just downstream of the existing bridge. Barges will be used as platforms for heavy equipment during pile driving and the construction of the piers beginning on January fifteenth.  These may move around at times, so caution is being urged by those using the river. “No wake” signs will also be erected to remind boaters to go slow when approaching the Haulover Bridge from both sides.
