The Ministry of Public Works announced it will complete the highway leading from the western side of Haina Port to Km. 14 of the Duarte Highway (the main thoroughfare that connects the North and the South of the DR). Construction will start in January. The highway will help reduce the amount of cargo trucks that have to enter Santo Domingo when they are headed for the north. The ground link was started six years ago but works, that were advanced, were suspended. The highway construction includes the construction of an overpass linking into Duarte Highway at Km. 14.
