Saw this government video on Hoy today and reminded me of a thread about a year back, when the state of the road between Cotui and Sabana de Grand Boya was discussed. Couldn't find it

I was visiting my 'esposa's abuela and tias' who live near the village of San Pedro between Sabana and Cevicos a couple of weeks back. I went from the capital via the Samana autopista and Sabana, but decided to go back on by a longer previously untraveled route via Cevicos and Cotui, with the aim of picking up pineapples and other local produce on the way understanding the road was good. I always try to visit new places.
For the poster from last years thread contemplating the drive from Cotui, you have to turn at an unsigned turning after Cevicos at a small place called Donna Maria after some verdant tropical countryside, otherwise you are on your way to the capital on route 11.

The road between Sabana de Grand Boya and Cotui is now surfaced with tarmac all the way and is a lovely drive. (There is a very short section unpaved and suspect it is at the boundary between Monte Plata and Sanchez Ramirez provinces). The short section of road between the Samana autopista and Sabana is not so good after the recent rains.
And there are loads of pineapple farms near Cevicos.
