The Las Americas Highway, the major thoroughfare leading from Santo Domingo east towards the Las Americas International Airport and Boca Chica will be turned into an expressway this coming April. All public transportation will be using two side roads for their work. The expressway will be a four-lane highway and the side roads will be three lanes each way and connected by a tunnel used only by the “conchos.” There will be no cross traffic along the expressway and there will be illumination along the entire section from the Duarte bridge to Boca Chica.
