Group questions China loan for Route 32

Route 32. CRH


A group consisting of engineers, architects, construction companies and the chamber of commerce is questioning if a loan to widen the route 32 highway between San Jose and Limon is sufficient. At issue is the 20 million budget for land expropriations, which they say is inadequate due to a pipeline that belongs to the national oil refinery (RECOPE). One example cited, is a one 10 by 50 meter strip that alone would cost at least $10 million to relocate.
