Samana road by year’s end

Public Works Minister Manuel de Jesus Perez said that the Santo Domingo-Samana expressway could be finished by December. Only heavy rains could keep the road from completion, he said. The road will cut travel time by half to Samana, one of the booming new tourist destinations in the country. Once the new highway is open, driving to Samana from Santo Domingo may take less time than traveling to La Romana.
