The
overpass is located on a stretch of the
main highway in the
San Nicolás District,
between the cantons of Taras and La Lima.
The
bridge above the roadway is about 1.1
kilometers long and has six lanes (three
in each direction).
The
new overpass is part of the Route 2
Extension Project. The route is also known
as Florencio del Castillo Highway which
connects the provinces of San José and
Cartago.
The structure's building cost was estimated at $20, and it is part of a $70 budget for Route 2 renovations.
The
ministry oversees the Route 2
extension project, which is financed
by an Inter-American Development Bank
(IDB) loan.
Following
the suspension of the train between
the two provinces, authorities expect
that the new flyover will help speed
up traffic on Route 2.
The
Railway Institute has announced that
train service has been suspended until
the railway track can be repaired,
after a landslide damaged a portion of
the path near the Ochomogo Hill area.
The
Cartago overpass is part of a larger
infrastructure rehabilitation project
underway in the country. Recently, the last
section of the first three-level
highway was inaugurated.
The
Ministry of Public Works and
Transports (MOPT) is a government
agency responsible for planning and
building roads, airports, and maritime
ports and regulating public
transportation.
