Map wanted of new highway Santo Domingo - Samana
maps.google.com shows about the first one third of the highway. Highway 8 is 105 km from beginning to end. There is one rest stop and a couple of exits for locals living near the highway. Basically you get on in Santo Domingo Este and get off in Nagua. It is a straight run.
In my opinion DR-8 (also known as Carretera Juan Pablo II, Carretera del Nordeste, Carretera Santo Domingo-Samana) is the best highway I have driven on in the DR.

Absolutely true.
Some photos I snapped on the highway, first ones are very small [sorry]. The endless, perfectly aligned trees in the last photo fascinated me:

Here is a fairly recent thread about driving the new highway.
