Q COSTARICA — For the next three months, drivers using the Circunvalación Sur (Southern Ring Road) will need to be more patient than usual.
This week, the Ministry of Public Works and Transportation (MOPT) closed two lanes on the central section of the road, heading from Zapote to Hatillos, near the María Aguilar River, necessary for the reconstruction of the bridge.
As a result, drivers traveling on the Circunvalación Sur are facing difficulties, especially those passing through Zapote, Desamparados, Hatillos, and Alajuelita.
While the work is underway, the road will operate with only one lane in each direction for approximately 800 meters.
“The area has the necessary signage, safety, and traffic control devices to guide drivers on the new traffic flow, in order to protect both workers and road users.
Drivers are asked to pay attention to the signs warning of the lane reduction, drive with caution, respect the maximum speed of 30 kph in the work zone, and, where possible, use alternate routes,” said the MOPT.
