Is there anybody on DR1 who lives close to the area in question, who could provide a 1st hand report, as opposed to what's published in the news or social media? Preferably a longterm member. Just asking.
For what it is worth........Pedro Brand is north of Santo Domingo, off Duarte Highway, in the vicinity of the tollbooths just after passing the circumvalicion of Santo Domingo [heading north].
