Everything about The Hummingbird Highway totally explained
The
Hummingbird Highway is one of the four major
highways in
Belize. It connects the
Western Highway outside of
Belmopan,
Cayo District with the
Southern Highway outside of
Dangriga,
Stann Creek District. It partially follows, and sometimes uses the infrastructure of, the former Stann Creek Railway (see
Rail transport in Belize).
A paving project was completed in
1994. All the
citrus produced in Belize travels along this highway to the two major processing plants in Stann Creek district. There are numerous small villages along the highway. A new bridge was completed over the
Sibun River in 2004, and a new bridge inaugurated in 2006 across Silver Creek; however, there are still several one-lane dilapidated bridges over numerous creeks and streams.
The traffic along the Hummingbird Highway has been on the increase lately due to an increase in demand for eco-tourism and the passage of petroleum trucks, which use the Highway as a shortcut en-route to the Western Highway (which terminates at the Guatemala border). The Hummingbird Highway is the only Highway in Belize which cuts through the mountains of Belize. The highway rests in a valley which comprises citrus orchards in the lowland and untouched jungle habitat on the outskirts and beyond.
