The Ministry of the Presidency announced that the Los Alcarrizos Cable Car will be inaugurated this coming 28 April 2023. The cable car has been in test phase since December 2022, reports Diario Libre.
Four stations will operate along a distance of 4.2 km. The stations are: Los Alcarrizos, (from the entrance of the sector on the Duarte highway); Las Toronjas; Puente Blanco; and Los Americanos.
The new cable car’s 163 cabins have the capacity to transport 4,500 people per hour (about 45,000 per day) at a speed of seven meters per second through a fully automated system.
The Los Alcarrizos cable car cabins are slightly larger than those in operation for the Ozama River cable car service that connects to the Santo Domingo Metro. They can transport 12 people instead of 10. The new skylift also travels at a higher speed, with higher quality standards and advanced technology.
The Los Alcarrizos cable car is also intended to connect passengers to the main lines of the Santo Domingo Metro.
