I could have sworn that drugs were illegal in this country. Obviously someone is still using big time. I read this in todays DR1 news:
Tourist Highway almost finished
Repairs to the Gregorio Luperon Tourist Highway between Puerto Plata and Santiago de los Caballeros are nearly finished, according to the project's supervising engineer. Most of the work is being done in areas affected by landslides that resulted from the recent storms. Currently, most of the work is taking place on the stretch between La Cumbre and the town of Yasica. Procisa is the company with the Public Works contract worth an estimated RD$200 million. Due to the difficulties of using the shorter route, many drivers choose to go around and use the highway between Navarrete and Puerto Plata. The Luperon Highway is 42 kilometers long, extending from Km 6 in Gurabo to the Gran Parada on the Puerto Plata - Sosua highway. According to supervising engineer Rafael Perez, rains affected twenty crucial spots along the highway. Repairs are expected to be finished by the end of December.
I just drove that route Friday and it is in as bad a shape as ever. It is a good thing that they said that it is expected to be done by the end of December and did not metion a year, because if they were talking about this December then check the skies for flying pigs.
