Caldera Highway

Category: New Highway

The long anticipated Caldera Highway is finally underway. The $230 million project is estimated to be completed in July of 2010. The highway will travel from outside of Villa Colon through the valley to Orotina. There will be a toll of aproximately $2.50. Drive time will be cut from roughly 2 hours to about 1 hour. The completion of the new highway is estimated to raise land values throughout the central pacific region and to establish the central pacific as the business hub of Costa Rica.
