As part of the pre-investment program, the Honduras-headquartered Central American Bank for Economic Integration (Cabei) approved on Tuesday, $5.9 cooperation funds to develop studies for the repair of several roads in Costa Rica.

According to Cabei, the funds will be overseen by the Ministry of Public Transportation and will cover the cost of the studies on the projects to improve eight highways, such as:

• The new radial road in Heredia Province.

• The road between  Pozón and Jacó Beach in Puntarenas Province.

• The road between Birmania and Santa Cecilia in Monteverde Canton,Puntarenas Province.
