Public Works Minister Victor Diaz Rua has confirmed that the fenced soccer field built on the grounds of the Juan Pablo Duarte Olympic Stadium is indeed private. But he said that while it would be used by the employees of Brazilian company Construtora Norberto Odebrecht, once the overpass construction entrusted to the company is completed, the field will be opened to the general public. Marcos Machado, director of the Duarte Corridor project, said that soccer is very important for the Brazilians. He said the field was built in an area designated for the Odebrecht headquarters and had been authorized by Diaz and Sports Minister Felix "Jay" Payano.
The company, in association with Grupo Estrella, is building the Duarte Corridor, a series of overpasses along 27 de Febrero and John F. Kennedy avenues and the Duarte Highway. Diaz said the company had also built a private soccer field in Mao when they were constructing the Northwest Line Aqueduct.
Diaz said that the company would build several public works to compensate for the environmental damage caused by the construction works.
