The work on the extension of the Autopista Duarte at kilometro 9 has advanced to the point where the company, Hormigones Moya, has announced that it will be completed by the end of June. The extension, includes the construction of two bridges over Avenida Luperon thereby making four lanes (two on each side). Roberto Cruz of Hormigones Moya, contracted by the company for the work in that area of the Autopista Duarte, said that the heavy rains experienced at the end of April and the first half of May have impeded some of the work, yet the speed with which they have advanced will permit its contract with the government to be completed by the end of this month. This portion of the overall extension of the Autopista Duarte has been carried out at a cost of RD$20 million.
