The Minister of Public Works, Victor Diaz Rua, attributes the potholes in the Las Americas Highway to the failure of the Codacsa Company to maintain the roadway in a proper fashion. Codacsa is the concession-holder for the toll road between Santo Domingo and La Romana. According to the minister, Codacsa "has collected more than a billion pesos during the seven years of the contract and has spent less than RD$35 million on repairs and maintenance." According to Diaz, "the contract obliges the company to maintain the road between Duarte Bridge and the airport and from there to La Romana." Diaz Rua promised that the ministry would rectify the situation. He said that the ministry has a plan to pave and repair potholes as soon as a ship loaded with AC-30 (tar) arrives and the rains subside.
