Ozama River cable car should begin operating this month
The government is planning to inaugurate the Santo Domingo cable car during this month of May. Domingo Contreras of the Special Projects of the Presidency Office announced a 15 May 2018 inauguration date. The cable car crosses the Ozama River, linking east and west Santo Domingo.
At present final adjustments and tests are being carried out on the RD$3 billion transport. Pending still is the relocation of families affected by the work in Gualey.
Locals think that this new form of transport will make their lives a lot easier as previously they had to take several transport modes to reach the center of Santo Domingo. Many now will be able to take the cable car and then the Metro to get around with significant cost, time and comfort gains.
According to published studies, the cable car will benefit around 300,000 people in 30 neighborhoods in the National District, Santo Domingo East and Santo Domingo North. It will connect with the Metro from Charles de Gaulle Avenue to the Eduardo Brito station, located in Gualey at the head of the Francisco del Rosario Sánchez Bridge.
