The Comprehensive National Transportation Master Plan (2018) identified key challenges in the country’s road transportation system, including:

• Deficiencies in road safety and bridge infrastructure
• Substandard quality of the road network
• Limited road accessibility and a high prevalence of unpaved roads
• Deficiencies in the road maintenance system, and
• Capacity constraints in both the public and private sectors

Government of Belize, with the support of the IDB worked on the identification and preparation of projects for the rehabilitation and maintenance of their Primary Road Network through different modalities of collaboration with the private sector:

PPP contract (projects that need capital upgrade)

Rehabilitation and maintenance contracts (CREMA)

On of the prioritize corridors is the George Price Highway
