History

Received mayor improvements in 2019, where gabion walls were constructed near Puriscal downtown to stabilize the sides of the road, similar work was done at Route 317. [1]

On October 4, 2019, the central government announced plans to invest CRC ₡7,083,000,000 to pave with asphalt the 51.89km gravel road between Puriscal and Parrita, due to its importance as an alternative route from the Greater Metropolitan Area to the Pacific. For forty five years, a local committee asked for this work to be done. [2] Works will start on April 2020, with the first 10 kilometers awarded to a private contractor. [3]
