In his Master's thesis, J\'an Maz\'ak proved that the circular
chromatic index of the type~1 generalized Blanu\v{s}a snark $B^1_n$
equals $3+{2\over n}$.  This result provided the first infinite set
of values of the circular chromatic index of snarks. In this paper we
show the type~2 generalized Blanu\v{s}a snark $B^2_n$ has circular
chromatic index $3+{1/\lfloor{1+3n/2}\rfloor}$.  In particular, this
proves that all numbers $3+1/n$ with $n\ge 2$ are realized as the
circular chromatic index of a snark. For $n=1,2$ our proof is
computer-assisted.
