Road to Caribbean closed

 

The route from San José to Limón – Braulio Carrilo, Route 32 – will be closing again for maintenance Tuesday and Thursday from 6:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
 
The disasters and emergencies arm of the Public Works and Transport Ministry sent out an advisory of the closure. The road work will be areas between Kilometer 20 and Kilometer 38. In the past six months landslides have affected the area and caused damage to the road.
