The $1592 million correspond to, says Nacion.com, "... loans for $60 million for roads and cantonal bridges, $390 million for the expansion to four lanes of Route 32 between the crossing towards Rio Frio and Limon, $340 million for routes between Canas-Barranca and Paquera -Playa Naranjo and $450 million for the Northern Beltway, the´platina´and Saprissa bridges, among other things."

The most serious aspect is that "...Most of these buildings have not been started since they have got bogged down in tender processes, expropriations or permit applications."

"... In October last year, Marta Acosta, General Comptroller of Republic, criticized the slowness with which the MOPT has managed loans and said that management is [bad enough] "to make you angry"."
