Minister of Public Works Gonzalo Castillo announced that the government will celebrate the first year of the second term of President Danilo Medina by delivering some 322 projects completed at a cost of RD$22 billion.
Castillo noted that there were some special projects underway by his ministry including the highway from Padre de las Casa to Bohechio that is almost finished, as well as the connection between Padre de las Casas and Guayabal, Azua and Barahona. In San Juan de la Maguana, the ministry is building a bypass around the south of the city, as well as 800 apartment units in the area known as Mesopotamia.
Castillo highlighted as a major achievement of the Ministry of Public Works the important service provided by road patrols. He said these have answered more than 350,000 calls for assistance on the nation’s highways since the service began four years ago. These calls included the need for tire repairs, mobile workshops and even ambulances. The service has benefited more than 1.4 million Dominicans and foreigners. The service is available 24 hours a day.
To corroborate the service, recently newspapers took the spotlight in reporting the opinion of Hall of Fame baseball player Pedro Martinez when his call for help produced excellent assistance to help him on his way.
