The Ministry of Public Works announced the repair of the panoramic highway from Puerto Plata to Santiago. The highway has suffered damages in several stretches. A spokesman for the ministry said that the damages are caused because the secondary route to Puerto Plata was built on top of the geological fault that cuts through the Septentrional mountain chain. He also admitted there were construction vices that worsen the situation of the so called "touristic" highway that offers lovely panoramic views all along the way.
