Costa Rica’s government has announced a $100 million investment to construct overpasses along Route 32, a crucial highway connecting the capital to the Caribbean coast. The decision comes after President Laura Fernández publicly stated her preference for overpasses over roundabouts previously proposed by the prior administration. Fernández asserted that roundabouts are not the best solution for the heavily trafficked route, signaling a departure from previous infrastructure plans. The funds will be specifically allocated to building these overpasses to enhance road safety and improve traffic flow. This investment addresses long-standing concerns regarding dangerous intersections and congestion on Route 32. The government believes overpasses offer a more effective and safer alternative for managing the constant stream of vehicles. This move is anticipated to significantly reduce accidents and travel times for commuters and tourists alike.
