San Cristobal-Bani expansion

[NewsWhore]

The government hopes that the allocation of the 28-km San Cristobal-Bani highway expansion project to Malespin Constructora and Constructora JM, with technical supervision by Compania Tecnoamerica (Pedro Delgado Malagon) will be the answer to the completion of this road that had been entrusted to Grupo Modesto, then taken over by the Supervisory Office of Public Works of the Presidency, and has been more than four years under construction. Public Works Minister Victor Diaz said the government had paid RD$3 billion for the construction, but it is still far from completed. He said that they are initially funding construction with RD$300 million, but that RD$1.8 billion is necessary to complete it. He expects the new companies to complete the highway in a year's time. The highway is the country's main link to the southwestern provinces.
