The construction of the first three-level highway in Costa Rica and the largest viaduct in the country is scheduled to be inaugurated in August, according to the Ministry of Transportation.
The 3.35 mile-long highway was budgeted at more than $222 million, which was covered by a loan from the Central American Bank for Economic Integration.
The highway starts from route 108 in La Uruca Canton to Route 32, which connects with the Bicentennial traffic circle. Authorities estimate that in July the construction of the two intersections, which make up a three-level highway, will be completed.
The highway will connect four routes: Route 39 with the Inter-American Highway (from Panama to Nicaragua) then with Route 27 (between San José and Puntarenas) and finally Route 32 (between San José and Limon).
According to the ministry, segment construction in the Uruca Canton is 90% complete. At the lower level of the road, two lines of a tunnel and a traffic circle. On the upper level, a four-lane viaduct is built to connect with Route 39.
In the second segment of the highway, located between the districts of León XIII and Colima, a bridge and a tunnel are being built. In this section, the works have an 85% progress.
The
third stage is to build a 1.3
kilometer four-lane highway
and an intersection that would
connect Route 39 and Heredia
Province. This road is already
fully built. Another
segment of the highway is
located between Colima and
Route 32, where they’re
building a 1,500-meter
four-lane highway, as well as
the construction of ramps to
reach the top-level highway.
This section of the road is
already finished. Another
segment of the highway is
located in Calle
Blancos District.
It includes intersections to
the new three-level highway.
On the lower level, a six-lane
highway is built. At the
middle level, a two-lane
traffic circle was built. On
the upper level, a four-lane
elevated highway is built.
This section of the road is
98% complete. The
last segment of the highway is
between Route 32 and Calle
Blancos. It is a 1.5 kilometer
road to reach Route 39 which
includes a tunnel. More
infrastructure improvements
are taking place in the
country. Recently,
a new highway was
inaugurated between the
cities of Betania and San
Pedro in San José. Also,
a new 8-lane highway
located in
Heredia Province was
recently inaugurated. ---------------
