An estimated 70,000 vehicles transit through the National District intersection better known as “Pintura” for the paint factory in the area. This Wednesday, 8 October 2025, President Luis Abinader is expected to be present for the opening of the intersection and underpasses to reduce bottlenecks and delays in capital city traffic.
The engineering works carried out have been praised for being fast, well-carried out and with sleek finishing touches. The roadworks include underpasses and overpasses for where the 27 de Febrero Avenue that crosses the National District from East to West turns north and connects to the 6 Noviembre highway that goes west to San Cristobal. The new works also give fast access to those headed to the industrial and densely populated Isabela Aguiar area.
The work was built with advances in funds to the government for authorizing the extension of the Vinci Airports concession.
The contractors detoured the underpass around the Plaza de la Bandera to ensure the iconic city plaza tall flag is not impacted.
The builders, involving Tecnoamerica as its project supervisor, have said that the work would be delivered by phases, with a first phase being the underpasses of the Plaza de la Bandera and Pintura roadworks to be delivered on 8 October 2025.
