Works of art to see Belize

The Swing Bridge is one of Belize City's most important structures, providing a link between the north and south of the city by spanning Haulover Creek, which is actually part of the Belize River estuary. Built in 1923, it is the oldest rotating bridge in Central America, enabling deep-draft boats to reach the sea at certain times. It is still opened by a 4-man crew, but only on request these days, as traffic on Haulover Creek is not what it used to be.
