On Sunday, the Ministry of Public Works opened a 14-kilometer stretch on the southwestern route from San Cristobal to the Lucas Diaz Bridge near Bani. The new 4-lane highway will greatly increase safety along one of the most treacherous sections of the Dominican highway system. The Public Works Minister Victor Diaz Rua promised that the remaining 14 kilometers would be finished over the next few months. The newly opened stretch of the highway has eliminated bottlenecks that caused several wrecks over recent months as drivers got too impatient and tried dangerous moves that cost lives.
Some of the companies that worked on the highway were Malespin Constructora and Constructora JM and they are responsible for finishing the job. The Compania Tecnoamerica, led by Pedro Delgado Malagon - himself a former Public Works Minister at the time the Duarte Highway was built - was in charge of overseeing the work.
