Automatic toll booths to be installed

Minister of Public Works Diandino Peña announced that modern toll booths will be installed at the main exits of Santo Domingo. The Ministry contracted the toll booths for RD$142 million with the Consorcio MSB and Ascom Trindel Corporation. The new toll booths will be installed at the same points where they are located today: Km. 25 of the Autopista Duarte (heading north); at km. 20 of the Autopista de Las Americas (heading east) and km. 12 of Haina (heading west). A new booth will also be built at the new San Cristóbal-Santo Domingo highway. The toll booths will have five lanes in each direction. The four central lanes will be for fast moving light vehicles and will operate automatically.
