Sabana - Escazu Traffic Congestion To Continue For Another Two Weeks

See video (in Spanish)

Travelling from the east of the Sabana park, from the Gimnasio Nacional to the Escazu bridge can take almost an hour these days as the the final asphalting of the section of the autopista Prospero Fernández began this week and will continue for the next two weeks.

A word of advice, stay away from the area, especially between 7am and 9pm, unless you really have to be there.

The section of road is part of the San Jose - Caldera highway that is under construction. The Sabana - Escazu is the first section that will be completed in the coming weeks, as work crews lay the final asphalt on the Sabana - circunvalación and the continue working on the Escazu bridge and then the final coat from the Escazu bridge to the toll booths.


The road builder, Autopistas del Sol, expects to have the entire section between La Sabana and Santa Ana finished by not later than May, when it will start charging tolls.

Some of the improvements to the road, in addition of the widening from four to six lanes (between Sabana and Multiplaza and the continues on four lanes to Santa Ana) are bus bays, overhead passes for traffic and new on and off ramps at the circunvalación and Escazu intersections.

If you have to travel through the area, be armed with patience and a tank full of gas.
