Santiago needs its highway
The president of the Chamber of Commerce of Santiago is urging the government to complete the Avenida Circunvalacion Norte, the bypass that will enable travelers to the north to avoid driving through the city center. Oliverio Espaillat called for the government to be fairer in its investments in Santiago. He says that the 24km bypass is estimated to cost RD$4 billion. He said that Santiago generates 16% of the Gross Domestic Product but receives less than 2% of the public infrastructure works carried out nationwide.
He said that several major works in the recent past have been carried out by the private sector. He mentioned the Santiago international airport, its hospital and its cultural center (Centro Leon).

Did this ever start that they are asking for the completion of this project? I wasn't aware this was or had been worked on in the past.
