PUERTO PLATA. - Against the clock and at full capacity, construction work on the new bridge over the Camú River in the Sabaneta de Cangrejos community continues.
For several weeks now, a large number of workers and heavy equipment have been seen at the site, under the supervision of engineers, working diligently on said infrastructure work.
It is the new viaduct is of vital importance to link locations located on the main road that connects San Felipe de Puerto Plata, Montellano, and Sosúa with the General Gregorio Luperón International Airport.
Said four-lane viaduct was erected by Grupo Estrella, with a million-dollar investment by the central government, after the old bridge collapsed more than a year ago and it is projected that it will be delivered before Christmas Eve.
The work on said road infrastructure is supervised by a board of engineers headed by Manuel Estrella, who meticulously inspects the placement of the stirrup linkage and the boards that will support the metal part above.
Likewise, the director of the Cibao-North Regional of the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC), Basilio González, gave guarantees that the bridge over the Camú River in Sabaneta de Cangrejos will be delivered in December of this year as promised by President Luis Abinader.
Work is being done tirelessly on the construction of this bridge; several immense high-quality steel beams have already been made in the Grupo Estrella workshops that will be transported to Puerto Plata to carry out this long-awaited work," said González.
