Costanera Sur Almost Complete
December 14th, 2009 | by admin |Costa Rican president, Oscar Arias, always maintained that the Costanera Sur be build during his administration. However, neither he nor the area residents had envisioned that it would occur, 20 years later, during his second term as president.
Travelling from Quepos to Dominical in record time has been a dream for many for decades. However, that dream is almost a reality as work on the Costanera Sur is almost complete.
Only three kilometres of construction are left on an important road that connects the Pacific Central with the Pacific South.
Last week, Marco Vargas, ministro de Obras Públicas y Transportes (MOPT), visited the area to inspect the 8 major and 20 minor bridges along the route and along with Alfredo Villalobos, general manager of Transportes Unidos La Costanera, the company building the road, said that the completion will end a nightmare of many, many years.
Travelling from Quepos to Dominical or vice-versa took some two hours or more, depending on weather conditions.
most of time spent at one lane bridges or dodging potholes. The new road, that took 30 years to build, will soon cut that time to a fraction.
