Constanza, one of the principal areas for the production of foodstuffs in the DR, is communicated by land as a consequence of the constant rains that have been falling in October and November, following Hurricane Georges. The president of the Asociación de Productores de Hortícolas de Constanza, Julio Trinidad said there are more 100 trucks loaded with produce ready to enter the city but that have not been able to cross because Tireo and Arroyo Frío bridges have been damaged. He urged Ministry of Public Works to send brigades and equipment to make the repairs.
