Expect delays for road closure this week due to a road extension and traffic circle construction project being carried out in Betania District ( 41 St.,13 Ave., 39 Rd.) in San José Province, authorities from the Ministry of Transports warn.

From 8 p.m Tuesday to 6 a.m. Wednesday and then, from 8 p.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday, the roads near the area where the traffic circle is being built near the University of Costa Rica ( 11 Ave., 39 Rd.) will be closed. During that time, hot mix asphalt will be placed on different roads that make up the project.

The closure will start from the Hispanidad Bridge, ( 53 and 49 St., Central Ave., 2nd Rd.) in San Pedro City to the traffic circle known as La Bandera in Betania District.

The same closure schedule will be executed also from 8 p.m Saturday to 6 a.m. Sunday.

Traffic police have posted signs to guide drivers about closures and detours. Authorities advise drivers to avoid circulating in both areas to get stuck in traffic.
