Government announces reconstruction of the Atlantic coastal highway that connects Puerto Plata with Nagua
PUERTO PLATA.- With a millionaire investment, the reconstruction of the 92 kilometers of the coastal highway, which connects Puerto Plata, Espaillat and María Trinidad Sánchez, will be undertaken.
It was learned that the initiative of the central government will be implemented, despite the fact that the road adaptation on the battered Puerto Plata-Navarrete highway has not yet been completed, a work that has been in progress for more than five years “at a turtle pace”.
The information was confirmed on Friday afternoon by journalist and lawyer Hugo Gómez Guzmán, who is the assistant in this jurisdiction of the Minister of Public Works and Communications (MOPC), Gonzalo Castillo Terrero.
“In compliance with the instructions of President Danilo Medina, the Ministry of Public Works under the direction of Mr. Gonzalo Castillo, will begin work on the construction of the Nagua-Puerto Plata highway in the coming days,” said Gómez Guzmán.
It is recalled that the reconstruction of this road was promised by government officials days before Holy Week last year, but as always nothing was done, so this new announcement has been taken with much care and concern by the population.
