Las Americas Expressway is one of the roads with the highest number of traffic accidents. The Ministry of Public Works has told Diario Libre that five underpasses and six pedestrian and motorcycle passes are currently under construction in an attempt to tackle this problem.
Minister of Public Works Gonzalo Castillo said the government is investing US$80 million over two phases. The first phase is underway in the Boca Chica area, where there is a high number of traffic accidents.
The Ministry of Public Works has also announced that works would begin on the old Veron-Bavaro road to reduce the problems that lead to so many traffic accidents.
