The Avenida Luperón will be extended to intersect with the Autopista 30 de Mayo (Malecón), the sea-bordering boulevard that itself is being expanded. The construction will affect the Santo Domingo Savio orphanage. The director of the orphanage, Priest Francisco Lizardo requested that the avenue be extended in a straight line to avoid that it pass near the chapel and the dorms of the interns. The priest complained that the authorities chose to change the direction of the avenue in order not to affect the motels in the area.
