Hacienda Minister Vicente Bengoa has traveled to Brazil to sign a series of financing agreements for overpasses and underpasses to improve north-south traffic in Santo Domingo with the Brazilian government export-financing agency, BNDES.
Odebrecht of Brazil and Ingenieria Estrella have been entrusted with the construction of the Duarte Corridor that will be implemented with Brazilian funding. Compania Tecnoamerica (engineer Pedro Delgado Malagon) is responsible for the design, supervision and control of the roadworks.
The works, estimated to cost US$163 million would be completed in 24-30 months and will be supervised by the Ministry of Public Works. The works are expected to save time and money for an estimated 800,000 daily road users.
Works will be carried out at Duarte Highway with Manoguayabo crossing and Av. Monumental, and at the intersections of Av. John F. Kennedy with Av. Nunez de Caceres and Dr. Defillo Street, as well as at the crossing of Av. 27 de Febrero with Ortega y Gasset Street and at Av. Charles de Gaulle with San Isidro Highway.
