its a LIE! it will be much faster! think "beam me up, pichardo" kind of speed!

I am sorry that is just not true. The DR is going to leapfrog all other nations in new technology for travel as well. Like the E currency (when even Credit and ATM cards are not safe to use) and smart guns that are coming (will I still need a ballistics test yearly? - how DUMB is that?) , the DR is developing revolutionary unheard of before proprietary technology where you actually get to where you are going before you leave. Yes that it right, it is a combination of time travel and transporter technology rolled into one that beats all competition.

a short update: after initial enthusiasm the read is nearly empty, due to high prices:
El precio del peaje provoca un bajo flujo vehicular en la avenida Circunvalaci?n Norte - DiarioLibre.com

Seg?n las tarifas, los carros, las mini van, yipetas y camionetas pagan RD$ 150.00, los microbuses y minibuses deben pagar RD$ 270.00, mientras que los autobuses y veh?culos de dos ejes pagar?n RD$ 360.00. Los veh?culos de tres ejes o m?s pagan RD$ 600.00.
What were they thinking?

I was reading somewhere that for the same distance of road you have here in Santiago for 150 pesos you can drive the same distance in the santo domingo area for 30 pesos. This is not how you encourage people to use the new road.

Cut fee by one sixth. RD25 2axles / RD100 trucks. More people will use making up the difference. After getting people hooked raise the toll slowly by 5/25 pesos every year.

*Question: Is there an on/off ramp to the road ( Luperon ) in Guarbo al Medio section?

Here's a video I took of the entire highway, it starts close to the entrance to the new bypass on the Duarte highway and it ends on the exit close to the Joaquin Balaguer highway.

Got on in Licey and off in Gurabo and cost nothing. Same for return trip. Saved me about 1 hour of long lights. Just wish they had a McDonalds on the bypass.
 

Luperon

So the toll is avoided completely if you dont get on at the 1st exit?

Used the new road today to go to the airport, it is beautiful, smooth and clean but 150 pesos each way is a rip off.

My only critisism is that there are no signs indicating which exit is for the airport.........................

Need a new bulbar. Hit a motoco?o and a cow having a good time purchasing the motoco?o loaded with putillas trying to get to their hotspot.
