Ruta 32 Blocked by Landslides

UPDATE: The road is now open.

Ruta 32, the main highway that runs between San Jose and the Caribbean port city of Limon, is currently closed due to four landslides that block the road. Work crews are currently clearing off debris; however, as of now there is no estimated completion time. If travelers are looking to get between these two regions, they should take the alternate route through Turrialba and Cartago.

The landslide problem is not new. The entire three-decade life of this road has been plagued with tons of loose dirt plummeting onto the pavement.
