In an effort to harmonize the development of our infrastructure with respect for the biodiversity that defines Costa Rica, authorities have begun this week a series of vital interventions on Route 32, the main road connecting San José and the Caribbean.

From Thursday, January 8 to Monday, January 12, 2026, temporary and controlled closures are being carried out for the installation of aerial wildlife crossings. These structures are specifically designed for iconic species of our region, such as monkeys and sloths, to cross the road safely, avoiding the accidents that have historically affected our wildlife in this area.

What you need to know if traveling this weekend:
• Intervention schedule: Work begins daily at 8:30 a.m.
• Closure dynamics: Total traffic stops are carried out for periods of approximately 35 minutes. Once each structure is installed, the flow is released before proceeding to the next point.
• Location: Crews are working in strategic sectors near Braulio Carrillo National Park and the Guápiles area.

This initiative is not only a response to a legal mandate, but a firm step toward the Costa Rica Sustainable model. With the installation of a total of 48 crossings (aerial and underground), Route 32 becomes a safer corridor for animals and, by extension, for drivers.

Recommendation for the community:
Given that Route 32 does not have high-capacity alternate routes,it is urged to all residents and tourists to plan their trips in advance. Patience during these days is a direct contribution to the conservation of our wildlife. Traffic is expected to return to absolute normality on Tuesday, January 13.
