Construction work is underway on the ring road around Costa Rica’s capital city, San Jose. Up to 72% of the work on the US$163 million Circunvalacion Norte project has been carried out so far.

Much of the financing required for the work has been supplied by the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI). A consortium comprising Estrella and H Solis is carrying out the work for the client, Costa Rica’s national road authority, Consejo Nacional de Vialidad (Conavi).

In all the project has been split into six separate sections. Progress varies on each of these stretches however.
