Passage On The
Interamerican Sur "Regulado"
Traffic on the
Interamerican Sur,
between the Valle
Central and Pérez
Zeledón continues "regulado",
meaning traffic is only
open to one lane between
5am and 6pm, as
machinery continues to
clean up the road
following a landslide
last Saturday.
The ministerio de Obras
Públicas says the road
will be completed closed
between 5pm and 6am.
The vice ministro de
Obras Públicas, Pedro
Castro, explained that
the highway will be
closed at night due to
the danger of more
landslides.
According to the Consejo
Nacional de Vialidad (Conavi),
the landslide occurred
at kilometre 116 of the
highway, near the
Lagunilla intersection,
where 4.5 cubic metres
of mud landed on the
roadway.
Tránsito (traffic
police) officials are
being kept on the scene
to ensure a smooth flow
of traffic.
The ministra de Obras
Públicas y Transportes,
Karla González,
confirmed that most of
the mud has been cleaned
from the roadway but
work continues to effect
repairs caused by the
mud and water. |
