Scenic Route 32 through Braulio Carrillo National Park. This route will be closed for part of the weekend

The highway agency will again be closing the main road between San José and Limón for six hours both Saturday and Sunday for more work repainting lines on the road.

This week they will be working on a section between Río Sucio and the old toll station. There will be interruptions from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday, said the Ministerio de Obras Públicas y Transportes.

Work last weekend was called off due to bad weather. Motorists are being advised to use alternature routes from Turrialba to Siquirres and Vara Blanca to Sarapiquí. Officials plan on closing part of the highway again next weekend, too, they said.

Along the Caribbean coast workmen will be on the job at one of the pillars of a bridge over the Río Vizcaya some 25 kms. (16 miles) from Río Banano. Traffic will be halted from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, said the Consejo Nacional de Vialidad.
