Work on the seven-decade-old Duarte Bridge over the Ozama River is supposed to end today, but, just in case the work goes beyond the scheduled end-date, DR1 is publishing the alternate routes to be used to get to and from the capital city to East Santo Domingo. According to some reports the traffic chaos over the weekend was colossal.
Diario Libre has reported the bridge will be opened to vehicular traffic on Monday, 20 March 2023 at 5:30am.
The alternate routes in case the bridge continues closed are: The Juan Bosch bridge with one express lane open in the west to east direction. Those going from the National District towards East Santo Domingo can use the Josefa Brea Avenue to cross the Mella Bridge that will be a one-way (west to east) road. Mexico Avenue can also be used to access this floating bridge. For those going from east to west along the Las Americas Expressway, use the Juan Bosch Bridge.
