  • Costa Rica’s Taras-La Lima road project has fallen more than three years behind schedule, with the latest extension expiring at the end of August.
  • The Public Works Ministry could fine contractor H Solís $20,000 per day, while the company has established a new final completion date.

The Taras-La Lima road project has missed another deadline, deepening a dispute between Costa Rica’s Public Works Ministry and contractor H Solís. The project has now accumulated more than three years of delays.

The latest extension expired at the end of August, but the work remained visibly incomplete. The project includes the road section between Taras and La Lima in Cartago, intersections, access and exit routes, overpasses, roundabouts, parallel streets, road markings and public lighting.

After the deadline passed, the ministry indicated that it could impose a daily fine of $20,000. H Solís has now set a new final date for completing the project, extending the standoff over when the long-delayed works will actually be delivered.
