New Bridge in San Ignacio

For years the sister towns of Santa Elena and San Ignacio, home to Belize real estate have been joined by a one lane suspension bridge named the Hawksworth Bridge which was built and imported from Middlesbrough, England, in 1949. There is also a wooden bridge further downstream that had been built as a temporary bridge known as the low-lying bridge, but now there is new, larger bridge built across the Macal River that link beautiful Belize homes in Santa Elena and San Ignacio.


On June 29 2012 the contract for the construction of the San Ignacio and Santa Elena new bridge was awarded to Cisco construction keeping in mind that this construction will facilitate themovement of heavy duty vehicles through beautiful Belize houses and Belize homes for sale as the passing of big cement trucks through San Ignacio Town is considered a safety concern.

The new bridge now brings calm to Belize property residence as the traffic congestion that use to occurs in the center of town especially on Saturdays which is market day is alleviated as well as the congestion that occurred when the rainy season commenced and the macal river overflow washing away the wooden bridge that connects many Belize homeshowever the detailed information for these homes could still be access through the website listing on mls in Belize. 

Today those who need or wish to cross the Macal River to view homes for sale in Belize or are interested in purchasing a Belize property for salecan visit our RE/MAX Belize Property Center in San Ignacio through the all-weather new bridge.
