ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info.

WARNING!!! MAJOR Road Repair on Ruta 32 - starts January 2, 2013

(ahhhh - only in Costa Rica would they START MAJOR Road Repair - that's expected to take 3 months [who wants to be 8 months???] - in the MIDDLE of THE BUSIEST WEEK of the YEAR for tourists going to the Beach!!!!  [though now that I think of it, I'll bet they don't have as many trucks traveling between the Port of Limon and San Jose so MAYBE that was the logic on this one])

MAJOR road repair project will begin this Wednesday
SOURCE:  AMCostaRica.com  1/31/12

The national road agency said contractors will begin replacing the asphalt with concrete on Ruta 32 north of San José Wednesday.

This is a 2.6 billion colon ($5.2 million) job that will take 3 months. The work area is from the heavily traveled intersection near the offices of La República, the financial newspaper, to the bridge over the Río Virilla.

The Ministerio de Obras Públicas y Transportes and its Consejo Nacional de Vialidad are encouraging motorists to use alternate routes.

The job will be in six stages and covers more than five kilometers. The four lanes of the highway are involved.

Some 60,000 vehicles a day travel this stretch, and the ministry said that workmen will be on the job 24 hours a day.

For most of the time only one lane will be open in each direction.

This is the major route from San José to points north and to Limón and the Caribbean coast.
