Hi! I am looking at traveling on the following roads. Any updates on them?
Ruta Touristica, Highway 25 from Santiago to Montellano
Highway 21 from Moca to Sabaneta
Thanks for any information that you can provide.
The poor road surface condition of the north coast highway in front of Coconut Palms(west of Cabarete near the entrance to Playa Encuentro) has been mentioned before as well as the numerous accidents that occur here as a result.
Over the weekend, yet another accident occured there as reported today in Detras del Rumor:
"Mientras que en Cabarete el choque múltiples de varios vehículos frente al proyecto habitacional Coconut Palm, dejó el saldo de varias personas heridas, dos de las cuales quedaron atrapadas en las carrocería de los automóviles involucrados."
Be careful when you're driving on this section of the highway.
Was there evidence of recent resurfacing & pothole repair??I did the Sabaneta to Moca run yesterday.... very nice
New bridge a plus... not too many hoyos....
Relatively easy trip.... about 50 minutes

Two years since the rains ruined the highways and the Navarette-Puerto Plata stretch still isn't finished, the "Ruta Touristica" is only 25% complete and the rest looks like it was carpet bombed, the route over the bridge in Jamao is getting worse due to the shabby, substandard patch jobs they do here on potholes. Better pray we don't have another bad, wet, November or all the work that has been done will be set back another year or two.
Meanwhile, I've seen fotos of beautiful modern highways with shoulders, striping, and guard rails, that have been built between small mountains towns and also in remote areas of the southwest that have very little traffic, local or tourist - while at the same time a major artery like the main north coast hightway continues to deteriorate badly.
Either some big wig politicos have vacation villas in these areas or the government has absolutely no sense of priorities - or both.
