Those who can would do well to avoid using the 27 de Febrero and Isabel Aguiar intersection that connects to the Duarte Highway (in north direction) and west to the San Cristobal’s 6 de Noviembre Highway.
Starting Monday, 12 August 2024, motorists will encounter detours at the intersection of 27 de Febrero and Isabel Aguiar avenues due to the construction of a new overpass. The Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) explains in a press release the works seek to improve traffic flow and reduce commute times.
The National Institute of Transit and Land Transportation (Intrant) announced that left turns will be prohibited at the intersection, commonly known as “Pintura,” as construction commences.
Motorists are advised to use the following alternate routes:
• Northbound on Isabel Aguiar from Westbound 27 de Febrero: Use the designated U-turn before the Plaza de la Bandera and then re-enter Isabel Aguiar.
• Southbound on Isabel Aguiar from Eastbound 27 de Febrero: Take Calle H north, turn left onto Calle J, and then left again onto Isabel Aguiar southbound.
• Southbound on Isabel Aguiar from Eastbound 27 de Febrero (Alternate Route): Make a U-turn at the gas station on 27 de Febrero and re-enter Isabel Aguiar southbound.
All detours are marked and monitored by the General Traffic and Land Transportation Agency (Digesett).
Those headed north can use the Santo Domingo bypass. Those headed west can use the old San Cristobal highway via the Malecon.
