La Vega toll opening postponed again

Minister of Public Works Gonzalo Castillo says that more time is needed to convince users of the Duarte Highway that money collected by the installation of a second toll on the highway will translate to improved service. “When we prove that we can give a service, that the highways are the way they should be, then the public is going to back the installation of a toll or the increase in the cost,” he said. He argued that the RD$30 toll charged for the use of the Duarte Highway is not enough to maintain the highway, as reported in Hoy.
