Do Not Travel On This Road
Hi,
I traveled this road in December. Unless you want to get rid of somebody, never to see them again, do not recommend this trip. It took us 5 hours to get to Samana on a 4 wheel truck. We nearly lost our lives twice: once coming head-to-head with another vehicle who would not yield the right of way on a muddy, narrow road, and again when the truck began to backslide on a road crossing Rio Yuna.
Given the condition and state of construction, I estimate at least another two years before this road is complete.
