Bridge to Heredia will be named Yolanda Oreamuno

February 24, 2017 by Staff News Writer

President Luis Solís announced that the new bridges built in the route that communicates Uruca with Heredia will bear the name of Yolanda Oreamuno. However, when doing a small survey, Costa Ricans seem to have no idea who it is.

Yolanda Oreamundo is a Costa Rican writer who ventured into different genres such as novel and essays, and even promoted cultural journalism. That is the image the government wants to promote.

She was born in San José on April 8th, 1916, and her work was noted for being critical of the patriarchal codes and allowed to open the national literature towards a more psychological and intimate narrative.

Oreamuno had the possibility of living in Guatemala, Mexico, Chile and the United States. At the age of 20, in 1936, she published her first short story “La lagartija de la panza blanca” and also “Para Revenar. No para Max Jiménez. “

She died July 8th in 1956 in Mexico at the home of the Costa Rican poet Eunice Odio, who was her friend.

The bridges that bear this name are expected to operate on March 7th with four lanes, two per direction, to travel to and from Heredia, which is expected to translate into a decrease in traffic jams caused by the works in La Platina.

The expansion of the road between Pozuelo and Jardines del Recuerdo required an investment of $ 8.6 million, or approximately 4.6 billion colones.
