Autopistas Says They
Will Keep To Same Work Schedule
Although he is
not happy about it, Crisitan Sandoval, the
general manager of Autopistas del Sol is
accepting the order to shut down the 11
kilometres of the San José - Caldera between
Atenas and Orotina, saying the
concessionaire will not vary from its
program of "intervention" and the existing
work schedule.
San José - Limón
Highway On Alert
The other road
under the watchful eyes of transport
officials is the San José - Limón or Ruta
32, which has also suffered heavily this
start of the rainy season, last month being
shut down for almost two weeks due to
mudslides and debris on the roadway.

UNDER
THE SUN IN COSTA RICA
So, What Are We To Do
Now?
Closing the San José - Caldera is perhaps a
prudent move on the part of transport
officials, but what are now to do, go back
to the old road, the monte de Aguacate or
the Cambronero? No way, I think I will stay
home until they re-open ruta 27 completely.
