San José -
Caldera To
Re-Open In Five
Days. Maybe.
Although earlier
this week the
minsitro de
Obras Públicas y
Transportes (MOPT),Francisco
Jimenez, hinted
that the 11
kilometres of
the San José -
Caldera could
re-open by this
weekend, the
MOPT has put off
the decision
waiting for a
new report this
coming Tuesday.
Engineers and
experts of the
Consejo Nacional
de Concesiones
say that the
necessary
measures to
ensure user
safety on the
Orotina - Atenas
stretch of the
road are not
complete.
The director pf
the Comité
fiscalizador del
MOPT, Edwin
Rodríguez, said
that a new
inspection date
was scheduled
before the road
could be
re-opened.
Minister Jimenez
said earlier
this week that
progress had
been made and
that the
possibility of
re-opening the
highway for the
mid-year
vacation were
good but would
not compromise
safety.
The delays in
work are being
blamed on the
rain of the past
week and the
delay in the
purchase of
materials
necessary to
perform the
work.
If all goes
well, the
highway could be
open in its
entirety by the
middle of next
week.
