|
 By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
The Ministry of Public Works announced on Thursday 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 ($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. 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 Tibás and the toll, the road surface will increase from 7 cm of asphalt mix to17 cm, of which 15 cm of asphalt mix with polymer. This is an additive that improves the life of the road. |

CONAVI call on drivers to use caution on the Braulio Carrillo highway between San José* and Limón*, because there are men working on the road. ---- Is an investment of more than $388,000 per kilometer in road repair a reasonable amount?
