Government to build multimodal transport station for northern Santo Domingo
Public Works Minister Gonzalo Castillo says the government is working on the construction of a major multimodal transport central station for the northern entrance to Greater Santo Domingo. The center would serve as a distributor for ground transport headed to 14 provinces in the central Cibao region, Greater Santo Domingo with connections to the Santo Domingo Metro line 2, OMSA buses and an eventual skylift to connect Los Alcarrizos.
As reported in El Dia, President Danilo Medina would make the announcement of the Estación de Transporte Interurbano del Cibao on Thursday, 7 June 2018. The bus operations located on the rotunda of Duarte Highway Km 9 and those at Enriquillo Park off Av. Duarte in the National District would be relocated there.
Castillo told El Dia reporters that this would reduce traffic congestion in the National District. The investment is estimated at RD$450 million and is contemplated in the 2018 National Budget. The URBE governmental unit would build the skylift. URBE recently delivered the construction of the first Santo Domingo skylift over the Ozama River.
