No problem on the north coast other than the odd potholes large enough to swallow the education budget of the country! ;-)

Right, but the OP was asking if they're any worse than before the recent storms. I'd say 'no'.
If you have to stay off La Mulata road , how do you get to Las Canas?
Based on a report aired yesterday by a Dominican news channel, I am led to understand that the "carretera turistica" which connects Santiago over Yassica to the Puerto Plata-Sosua main road may have become next to unpassable with a traditional vehicle. That, based on the report, not only attributable to the last storms but allegedly an abandonment by the authorities over the past months or years.
... J-D.
Sorry this is not true, I travelled that road yesterday to Santiago without problem. They have been regularly working on it for some time to prevent landslides and they have done a good job so far.
Without having more information to verify the facts J-D, we could be talking two different roads here. The one you spoke of SOUNDS like the Montellano to Santiago road (better known as the "carretera turistica") & that has been in very bad condition for MANY months (if not longer!!). Barbara/SASDomrep/Ladybird may be referring to the road from Sabaneta over the mountain to Santiago which is normally in better condition.Well, you should not feel sorry you found out that news not to be true... That's GOOD news
Thanks for rectifying! ... J-D.
