Built some 40 or so years ago, it was one of the best roads in the country. Sadly, this is no longer the case. The road has not been well maintained and large pieces of it are missing. Expect a long ride to any destinations along this route. Western Highway One of the better roads in Belize, the Western Highway leads from Belize City to the western border of the country.
Conditions are reasonable but the road requires some work in various areas.
Hummingbird Highway One of the most picturesque drives in Belize, the Hummingbird Highway has been resurfaced and redone. Construction has begun at the northern end and the projected completion date for resurfacing is sometime in mid-2000. This will greatly increase access to the southern part of the country. There are a number of bus companies that run within Belize. Bus prices are reasonable and so is travel time within the north and west parts of the country.
