Not necessarily, the government is quite a big land owner, so it might have been their hill to do whatever they want with. And if not, I would guess it's easier to buy a plot of land that is empty in comparison to where there are several houses.

https://fb.watch/kxic3aC2Ly/?mibextid=Nif5oz maybe this will make a difference. Right now its not possible to use the detour, a small bridge has been flooded because of the "heavy" rain that has passed this afternoon/night in the area. I'll be going there at 5 am tomorrow as I have to be in Santo Domingo tomorrow, so we'll see if it's possible to cross.
So a lot of people in the area are currently stranded on either side of that small bridge..

Yes there was rain but certainly not heavy in Sosua.
If that little rain cell did that wait until a real gully washer (aka:Styrofoam flotilla) comes with the summer heat.
Winde - If you think it matters that some people are stuck or inconvenienced and that will precipitate action - then the lack of water from Corr-upcion-plata would have been solved a decade ago
And I want Shakira to show me how her hips don't lie, but you know the old expression:
"Wish with one hand, sh*t in the other and see which one fills up first"
Apparently, there's going to be heavy rain in this area every afternoon this week. It could be a while before this is resolved.
Well I passed it this morning so it seems to only have been affected during that specific time last night.
But yeah, we'll see. Because I don't think it comes down to the need of the few vs the need of many. It rather comes down to the fact that Puerto Plata is a big tourist destination, so not having that bridge is a blemish to DR reputation.
Why the issue with coraaplata has not been resolved?
Short answer, it doesn't affect tourists, only people living here.
What happened last night ended up in Listin Diario, I highly doubt that an area in Puerto Plata not getting water is of any high interest or priority for the ones in charge in the Capital.

Once again with this rain that we had/are having, the alternate route has been affected and currently traffic is not passing on either side.
One of the issues is they aren't cleaning out the pipes. They are full of limbs, leaves and every type of trash (and then some) Dominicans throw out their car windows or drop while riding their motorcycles.Señores ahora no hay paso por la vía alterna...

If they hire six guys to clean it out on a dry day the water wouldn't over top the road so easily - but what a nasty job
Continuing embarrassment of government incompetence.
A friend in Montellano told me that a section of the Montellano- Cangrejos bypass was washed out because of heavy rains.
People stuck on both sides.
That also means ambulances can't pass to P.P.
That's the major highway connecting communities on the North Coast.

Well it's not a little bridge. It's a couple of concrete culvert pipes filled over with caliche and the culverts are plugged up.
Could have been a bridge - we used to make temporary bridges with railroad flat cars. Sufficient for this short span and could have been built higher with more space under for rain flow
It’s open. Railings are destroyed but I just crossed it. I’d say a 2- 2.5 hour delay.
