Driving from Constanza to Bani via San Jose de Ochoa?

[gerd]

Is this road ok to drive with a regular car (not SUV) ?
How long would the trip take for a slow driver with occasional stops?

Thanks for helping.

2 to 3 days. Bring spare tires.

Yes, definity a road that requires high clearance and 4 wheel drive.

Ok, thanks, I get the message. I had hoped that somehow things might have changed.
What about Jarabacoa- Constanza then?
I have driven this in 1999 and it took me about 4 hours. Please dont tell me this hasn`t been fixed either.

Jarabacoa-Constanza has been fixed and takes 1-2 hours now.

Very good road, but still slow due to the curves. It will only take about an hour.
