Repair of the “Platina” bridge to begin within 15 days
October 3rd, 2013 (InsideCostaRica.com) Work on what authorities are hoping will be the “final” repair to the bridge over the Virilla River on the General Cañas highway will begin within 15 days, according to Pedro Castro, Minister of Public Works and Transport.
The bridge has come to be known as the “Platina” bridge because of the metal grating that was used as part of temporary repairs.
The repair work will come at a cost of ¢4.5 billion (about $9 million USD). Castro said the work is only waiting on soil studies, which are expected to happen this week.
