Costanera Sur Almost Complete
Travelling from Quepos to Dominical in
record time has been a dream for many for
decades. However, that dream is almost a
reality as work on the Costanera Sur is
almost complete.
Only three kilometres of construction are
left on an important road that connects the
Pacific Central with the Pacific South.
Last week, Marco Vargas, ministro de Obras
Públicas y Transportes (MOPT), visited the
area to inspect the 8 major and 20 minor
bridges along the route and along with
Alfredo Villalobos, general manager of
Transportes Unidos La Costanera, the company
building the road, said that the completion
will end a nightmare of many, many years.
Travelling from Quepos to Dominical or
vice-versa took some two hours or more,
depending on weather conditions.
most of time spent at one lane bridges or
dodging potholes. The new road, that took 30
years to build, will soon cut that time to a
fraction.
Costa Rican president, Oscar Arias, always
maintained that the Costanera Sur be build
during his administration. However, neither
he nor the area residents had envisioned
that it would occur, 20 years later, during
his second term as president. |
