Some 67 days after President Danilo Medina inaugurated the start of the Los Alcarrizos skylift and the Cibao bus station, there is no sign of any progress and the land is still full of rubble, as reported in Listin Diario. During the 8 August 2018 ceremony that marked the start of operation of the 2B Line of the Santo Domingo Metro, President Medina again spoke of the construction of the Los Alcarrizos skylift as the next phase of the mass transport system.
Nevertheless, Listin Diario reporters say that in the area chosen for the work there is just a fence and a ditch that has been only partially excavated. In addition there are six signs saying “Ministry of Public Works” around the perimeter, but that is all.
The first station of the skylift has been announced to go up in Puente Blanco, but residents in the area confirm they have seen little movement towards construction and have seen no one involved with the construction for over a month.
