The Metropolitan Transport Authority (AMET) announced that the drawbridge over the Ozama River will not be in use today so as to facilitate the flow of water rushing down from the Ozama. This means that traffic crossing the waterway will be slow. Those heading east to the Las Americas International Airport, Boca Chica, Juan Dolio or La Romana will need to give themselves extra time for traffic jams over the Bosch, Mella and Sanchez bridges.
