Dear Ilan
Thank you very much. Here, instead o 248 km, Costa Rica officials seems
just having in mind a parallel road to San Juan River along 140 km of
theis river..

Oficially it is not named "road" ("ruta" in Spanish) but "trocha
fronteriza" or "camino fronterizo".
The problem (for national autorities, among many others problems) is that
raining season is beginning.
Sincerely yours
Nicolas Boeglin
