Q COSTARICA — Planning to be in San José this weekend? The San José Municipality’s Festival de la Luz is happening on Saturday, but the parade floats will start rolling along Paseo Colón from 10 pm on Friday.
The first three blocks of Paseo Colón will be closed starting Friday night.
The route around La Sabana Metropolitan Park will be closed from noon on Saturday and traffic will be regulated from 11 am.
Heavy trucks will not be allowed on the Autopista General Cañas past the Monumento al Agu (Water Monument) and must detour via the Circunvalación (ring road) starting Saturday morning; all vehicular traffic will be detoured at the northeast corner of the Sabana park.
Like every year, the General Cañas and the surrounding areas will be a massive traffic chaos.
“Be good, it’s for your own good, it costs nothing. Otherwise, Santa won’t bring you anything,” says the Ministerio de Obras Publicas y Transportes (MOPT).
