Costa Rica Road to Caribbean Coast Closed

The route from Central Valley's San Jose to Limon – 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 Costa Rica area and caused damage to the road.

Motorists who need to take the road, which connects the Central Valley to the Caribbean coast, must use a detour that goes through Turrialba (see map here).

San Jose Guide:

San Jose, the Capital of Costa Rica, is the hub of all transportation in Costa Rica. For that reason, it is usually the first place you will visit while in Costa Rica. It lies between three Costa Rica volcanoes. There is a large variety of Costa Rica hotels, parks, restaurants and attractions for visitors. The first thing noticed about San Jose is the local friendliness. The city is set up on a pretty logical grid system. When on foot and touring the capital, Costa Ricans, also known as Ticos, are always willing to lend a hand with directions. Always remember though, locals use landmarks not street names for directions, and if you just can't figure out where you are, find a local church. Every church in Costa Rica faces west. While in the Capital, you have access to the best public transportation in all of Central America.
