San José -
Caldera Fully
Open
The autopista
San José -
Caldera
yesterday
afternoon was
fully open and
free of debris
from falling
rocks and
mudslides
occurring during
the previous
days of heavy
rain.
Autopistas del
Sol, the road
concessionaire,
had closed the
autopista for a
couple of hours
on Wednesday
when mudslides
and falling rock
between
kilometres 45
and 47 of the
new highway
placed drivers
at risk.
The road was
re-opened, with
'paso regulado'
by noon on
Wednesday as
word crews
continued the
clean up and
retention of the
gigantic rocks
that had made
their way onto
the lanes of the
autopista.
Last night
(Friday) Inside
Costa Rica took
a run of the
highway from San
José to Orotina
and back and
found only a
lane closed in
the area of
kilometre 45, to
avoid vehicles
being hit in the
event of falling
rocks.
For road
information,
Autopistas del
Sol has set up
the line 2588
4040 to provide
road information
on a 24/7
basis.. |
