Contractors have resumed improvements on the Carretera Turistica Gregorio Luperón, the alternate mountain road to eastern Puerto Plata. The mountain road has been under construction for years due to the constant sinking and landslides. Works are 90% finished. The contractors are working in the Yásica district in Puerto Plata province, where new drainage is being installed at the most critical points.
