Travel Update: Road Conditions in San Jose, Orotina

Avenida 3, known as El Paseo de los Damas, has been reopened on the east side of downtown. It had been closed for two months for remodeling. The Municipalidad de San Jose did a nice job with the new concrete street and landscaped pedestrian areas.

Also, the bridge between Turrubares and Orotina has collapsed, according to La Nacion, killing four people. Many people used this route, from Ciudad Colon-Puriscal-Orotina, to avoid the maddening traffic on the Cerro del Aguacate en route to Jaco. The old bridge was a single-lane suspension bridge over the Rio Sucio Tarcoles, and frequently captured tourists’ attention for its rickety, peacemeal appearance.
