Work is progressing on the construction of the modern Santo Domingo Port, which is preparing to receive cruise ships as of October 2006. The remodeling also includes the western side of the port, with that dock scheduled to enter into operation in September 2007, as reported in El Caribe. Port director Randolfo Rijo said that the eastern side extends from the Plaza Juan Baron to the floating bridge and the eastern dock covers the port of Sans Souci, the beach strip and part of the Navy facilities. The builders, Inversiones Turisticas Sans Souci were awarded a 40-year concession from the government, renewable every 10 years. They have announced an investment of US$400 million in the port, residential and tourist project. The project also includes the restoration of the Monumento a Montesinos that was donated by the Mexican government to commemorate the priest who was the first advocate of human rights in the Americas.
