New bypass to open at end of June
Following his meeting with President Danilo Medina at the Presidential Palace yesterday, Monday 1 June 2015, Public Works Minister Gonzalo Castillo told reporters that the construction of the second phase of the Santo Domingo bypass involves an investment of US$130 million by the government and should be ready by the end of this month. The first phase cost US$115 million.
The second phase is 23 kilometers long and is aimed at easing traffic flow in the north of the capital as it will be used by vehicles going to and from the Cibao area and the south of the country.

The continuing new roads and road upgrades in the country is really good news for those of us who drive around a lot. When the Santo Domingo beltway is complete this will benefit traffic greatly from the Cibao going to Las Americas and the East and indeed from the west to east to west.
The bypasses to Bani and Azua are also expected soon which will open up the southwest with a good through highway from SDO. And with the Barahona Pedernales upgrade that is all good.
The highways to the East are great and by year end one will be able to drive from Bavaro all the way to Sabana al Mar through Miches on new and upgraded roads.
From the very recent news the Piedra Blanca San Jose road is now under construction again and should provide a good shortcut from Cibao to the South West. I only hope that improvements to the Constanza to San Jose road can follow because that is a trip I want to enjoy.
Whilst I am aware of current improvements to the Navarette to PoP road, it still appears to me that there are a number of improvements to the Northern Provinces which are needed. The SFM road to Nagua never seems to get properly surfaced in it's entire length....maybe the corrupt politicos in SFM are a factor. And the NC road from Nagua through Cabrera could do with improvement. It seems the North is lagging behind when it comes to road improvements. Why?
