Those driving to and from La Romana will be thrilled to know that the La Romana four-lane bypass is now open. It will be formally inaugurated on 11 December, but can be used as of today, Wednesday 27 November. Today, President Danilo Medina is scheduled to be in San Pedro de Macoris for the formal opening of the four-lane San Pedro de Macoris bypass. The new road solutions reduce driving time between Santo Domingo and La Romana by about half an hour.
