Jules Vs. Bill: the Battle Of Big Bridge
posted (November 29, 2019)
The Swing Bridge in downtown Belize City closed for repairs in August, and since then - its caused quite an inconvenience to pedestrians who have to dart through traffic to cross the bridge - because the western walkway has been closed for repairs.

Finally, today that was opened and then they closed the eastern walkway! And that's where Jules pounced on the man the mayor called the contractor and a certified engineer Bill Lindo.

And, in classic Jules and Bill style - they rumbled and rambled in an interview that is part journalism, part entertainment. Here goes:…

Deputy Mayor Oscar Arnold told us that the city council will publicize the cost of the repairs to the bridge, quote, "in his lifetime."

To make a correction, the Eastern walkway was closed today after the western walkway was opened.
