|||
In [[Guanacaste Province|Guanacaste]] province the route covers [[Abangares (canton)|Abangares]] canton ([[Sierra District|Sierra]] district), [[Tilarán (canton)|Tilarán]] canton ([[Quebrada Grande District|Quebrada Grande]], [[Cabeceras District, Tilarán|Cabeceras]] districts). |
|||

|||
<!-- |
|||
NOTE: To fill the junction list table. |
|||
READ AND FOLLOW: [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Road junction lists]] |
|||
1) if only one province is covered, remove the province column, add text staying so, ie: |
|||
"The entire route is in Alajuela province." |
|||
1.b) the same goes for canton, and district, ie: |
|||
"The entire route is in Upala canton of Alajuela province." |
|||
"The entire route is in Upala district of Upala canton of Alajuela province." |
|||
2) remove regions/rows without junctions. |
|||
3) rearrange the rows in the route order, be concise on starting from direction_a to |
|||
direction_b according to the Infobox. Regions are provided and sorted by their postal |
|||
code order, NOT IN ROUTE ORDER. |
|||
4) measure in OSM/Google Maps from direction_a to every junction and fill distances. |
|||
5) merge (rowspan) province/canton cells to show the region only once |
|||
6) destinations are ONLY junctions! use {{Jct|country=CRI|RN?|###}} template |
|||
6.b) or end point of interest (airport, dock, river...), but not each town --> |

[edit]While it has historically been mostly a gravel road, there have been recent efforts to asphalt the road in its entirety due to its use by tourists.[2]
Work started in June 2017, with a projected end date of September 2018, to stabilize and widen some sections of the road. Work also began to pave the remaining 17-kilometer dirt and gravel section from Guacimal to Santa Elena. However, some of the residents have concerns about the effect of increased traffic and visitors on the area.[3]
By December 2018, the contractor Grupo Orosi had a 22% advance on the work, with a three-month delay after the original project end date. The contract was canceled due to the lack of progress and financial uncertainties of the contractor.

The last segment remains unpaved as of October 2019, while awaiting a new contract with a different company to continue the work, projected to start in May 2020.[4][5][6]
