Samana-Santo Domingo Highway Update
Good to hear.
This may not only affect the Samana and Las Terrenas section but also open the sectors in between Cabarete and Nagua/Sanchez (like Rio San Juan) for some development.
It's funny, I first heard about that high way arround December last year and on mid May this year I asked about the progress (Highway Santo Domingo - Nagua/Sanchez, Progress?) and got no answer.
I would love to see the exact route, not just from where to where but also where through (?).
... J-D.

The route is out-there
We tried it, and it was beautiful trough the fields and rainforest, sometimes untouched for 6 years as a small rabit road and at some places you see a lot of people working to clear the path
in the middle of nowhere suddenly you'll find a open place where thousands of dollars of equipment (carterpillars bulldozers) are standing/lying rusty - broken - unused , when the construction stopped during Leo's first time as president ......

hopefully in a year this road sign will read, "Samana" and "Las Galeras" and the highway will be complete - just in time for Xmas 2007.
