The Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI) is behind one of the biggest transformations that the province of Limón has experienced in recent decades. With an investment of over $100 million, more than a hundred projects in education, transportation, housing, drinking water, and sanitation are moving forward to improve the quality of life for thousands of people in the Atlantic Region.

One of the pillars of this investment is the Emergency Program for Comprehensive and Resilient Infrastructure Reconstruction (PROERI), which allocates more than $56 million to the construction of schools, roads, bridges, railways, and housing solutions. In communities such as Talamanca, Matina, Siquirres, and Pococí, these initiatives are already beginning to transform the daily lives of more than 125,000 residents.

In the field of education, the new Escuela de Barrio Limoncito stands out. At the same time, six bridges, five roads, and forty railway projects are being carried out to strengthen connectivity in the region, in addition to a housing plan with more than 100 homes to provide safe solutions for dozens of families.

Investments also extend to drinking water supply and sanitation. In Limón alone, more than $190 million is being allocated to modernizing aqueducts, expanding the network, and building a sanitary sewer system, benefiting more than 220,000 people in Limón and Guácimo.

Finally, CABEI is also financing studies to modernize National Route 32, the main road between San José and Limón, with planned interventions on strategic sections and in the Cerro Zurquí area, where landslides frequently affect mobility.

These projects will benefit more than half a million people, including residents and visitors, marking a decisive step toward more resilient and sustainable development for the Atlantic Region.
