Transit officials call for increased
precautions due to night work on route # 32

By the A.M. Costa Rica staff

Night work began Monday on route #32. It will allow more progress in the construction of the three level intersection that is part of the new ‘Traffic Circle North’ highway, built to complete route #39.

Representatives of the Executing Unit of the Ministry of Public Works report that there will be two schedules of road partial road closings: during the day from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. and during the night from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.

There will be a work stoppage from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. so that vehicles can travel without obstacles.

Road engineers said that the construction of the lateral zones of the highway has already been completed, and at the moment they are working on the demolition of an area to allow the opening of a provisional lane for traffic.

Traffic police officers will continue to make road closures and are calling on drivers to increase precautionary measures when they use the road due to the presence of workers and machinery in the area.

The construction is in the area known as Functional Unit IV, from the community of Tibas* to the community of Calle Blancos*.

Construction on route #32 began in August 2018. The final project will be a three-level intersection of a 400-meter-long highway section with 4 lanes on both roads.

According to the Ministry of Public Works, the construction is 10 percent completed.

As A.M. Costa Rica reported on Feb. 8, government invested more than $12 million in maintenance of 32 kilometers of highway

The Ministry of Public Works announced that repairs had begun on 32 kilometers of highway #32, between the Virilla Bridge* in Tibás and the Sucio River*. The total investment for repairs is ¢7,600 million colones (about $12,437,020) and is being provided through the Road and Bridge Conservation contracts.

The Ministry said the work is being carried out from 6 am to 3 pm, Monday through Sunday. The current work is from the Rio Sucio to the capital in San José.

The road area between Doña Lela Restaurant* and the toll booth, said the Ministry, was completed last year and demarcation of the highway is underway.

The authorities of the National Council of Roads (CONAVI) said that for the first time in the history of the road, it will be painted with a kind of resin that withstands high temperatures and has a useful life of up to five years.

There will be a work stoppage from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. so that vehicles can travel without obstacles.

The Ministry hopes that road rehabilitation project, and the painting, will last for ten years.

All the sites with new asphalt are being marked with a solvent paint to guide users who will install the next layer of asphalt mix or mark the road with thermoplastic paint.

The work on the Braulio Carrillo* route includes modifications to the asphalt mix that serves as the surface of the ring, said the Ministry. In the first section, between Tibas* and the toll, the road surface will increase from 7 cm of asphalt mix to 17 cm, of which 15 cm of asphalt mix with polymer. This is an additive that improves the life of the road.

Also in the second section, between the toll and the Sucio River, a change will be made in the surface level of the ring. It will go from 12 cm of asphalt mix to 11.5 cm additional of asphalt mix with polymers.

Traffic police officers call on drivers to use caution on the Braulio Carrillo* higway between San José* and Limón*, because there are men working on the road.
