4 lanes for Sabana
In March, contractors hired by MOPT will begin to widen the road parallel to the south side of La Sabana Park, which runs from the old Agricultural Ministry and the Universal store. Pedro Castro, Vice Ministro of Public Works, estimated the cost at ¢3.3 billion colones (6.37 million dollars). The 1.1 kilometer stretch contains significant amounts of electrical cables and pipes, which increased the budget considerably.
The objective of the project is to reduce travel time during rush hour to 1/3 of its current delay.
