Yesterday, Sunday 13 December 2015, the Minister of Public Works, Gonzalo Castillo inaugurated a two-lane overpass one hour-and-a-half drive north of Santo Domingo, at the Piedra Blanca intersection of the Duarte Highway. The new overpass, which was built by the Odebrecht construction company, is part of the 83-km Piedra Blanca-Rancho Arriba-San Jose de Ocoa mountain road.
Castillo said that President Danilo Medina would be formally opening the overpass in February 2016. In the meantime, the overpass is expected to ease traffic flow and reduce accidents during the Christmas holidays. The highway also is used for travel to Cotui.
