well. this is not south florida. in DR some companies that need frequent travel from/to SD get the employees paso rapido, a "sticker" that automatically registers peaje. other companies offer credit cards to key employees. there are many ways to sort things out.

i really can't say. this lousy map was all i could find. i've heard it's going to join santiago-navarette road somewhere close to the bridge that takes you inside santiago via alternative road, along the river, is that correct?
go on google maps and then go to where autopista duarte meets avenida hispanoamericana and right there thats where the new circunvalacion starts northward youll see it its still dirt road on google maps but youll see it finish at the autopista joaquin balaguer follow the dirt construction road and thats the whole road..hope you find it
Halfway between navarette and Santiago is villa gonzalez. Halfway between villa gonzalez and Santiago is where the new overpass is to get to the new highway.
ASSUMING that the travel time now from Puerto Plata to STI (Santiago airport) is 1.5 hours, how much time will be saved by using the bypass??? Anyone know?
ok, i checked the map again and highlighted the dirt road in red, would that be new circuwhateveridontcare norte?
the airport and the road leading to it are in pink, for reference.
Now that I had a closer look.
Since I am near the middle of that mess of streets, it doesn't look worth $150 to me. I would pay triple if they somehow connected the roads to Pureto Plata. It still shows that I would still have to do the half of the trip passing trucks and avoid on coming traffic on Rt 5.
That's exactly the idea of this construction, I remember when Pte. Balaguer started the old Av. Circunsvalacion "the Inner Belt line" now... people called him crazy, what we need this for? they would say back in the days. Thirty years ago the Av. estrella sadhala, interception of La Fuente and PUCCM "Patron Santiago" had a couple cars during a normal week day...
that's why I always say, Balaguer was the man with a vision to the future.

I must be a computer idiot. I tried for about 2 hours to do get a map like that, mark it up and post it before I gave up. Great map.

My leader Balaguer was more ambitious than that, he planned to continuous this Rd. bordering Cienfuegos all the way to "La Canela" widening the existing road in order to connect it at some point to the old Av. circunsvalacion somewhere next to Puente "Hermanos Patino" in order to split to Av. Hispano Americana and this way completing the whole outer belt line...
I may see this project completed next time we have a Santiaguero President focused in the future of the country.
Leonel did sh**t for Santiago...
