Advances in construction of Los Alcarrizos metro line

[Dolores]

The Office for the Reordering of Transportation (Opret), the office in charge of the construction of the Santo Domingo Metro, announced the connection of the tunnel to the María Montez station, located at kilometer 9 of the Duarte Highway, thus integrating it with the present routes of the Santo Domingo Metro and Cable Car network.

A celebratory event was held at the Maria Montez Station on 14 August 2024 marking the connecting of the tunnels as a significant milestone for the completion of the Santo Domingo Metro Extension Project to Los Alcarrizos.

The new line covers a stretch of 7.3 kilometers and consists of five stations. The Santo Domingo Metro Extension Project to Los Alcarrizos or Line 2C involves an investment of approximately US$500 million. The project is scheduled to be inaugurated in December 2024.

Opret explained that this is an eight-meter...

I read somewhere a couple of days ago that it's 93% finished. Whatever that means.

I was taking trips out that way every few weeks or so to watch the progress until they started working on Km 9.

There is no way its 93% completed. More like 60%

I'm curious, are you here in the DR to see the actual status? An engineering background? Or is that just an off the cuff estimate?

They have a timeline with completed events to estimate time remaining, and seem to be hitting most of those goals.

I'm not sure of 93%, but I'd agree with a +/- 5% variance.

I was in DR recently for embassy thing for my daughter then I decided and saw the actual construction, its NOT 93%. More likely 60-70%.

Let's see if they hit their December goal as planned.

I have a video I took myself last week while arriving at SD, it looks like a lot have been done.
