Flag Raising on Autopista Is Part of Independence Day Tradition

If you have been wondering what is going on with the light posts on the autopista General Cañas, it is in preparation for the September 15 Independence Day, which celebrates Costa Rica's 188th anniversary of independence.

As a tradition, work crews of the Compañía Nacional de Fuerza y Luz (CNFL) install the flags on the poles of the autopista.

This year a total of 360 flags are being installed, with the addition of a few with the "Grupo ICE" logo.

The flag raising is from the Juan Santamaría airport to La Sabana park on the autopistas and then along the boulevard Las Americas, that runs along the north edge of the Sabana park.
