President Leonel Fernandez goes east today to inaugurate the new Guido Gil Bridge over the Soco River. The bridge is an important link for travel from San Pedro de Macoris province to La Romana province and back. The 294-meter bridge is 23.60 meters wide and 20 meters above the highest known tide point of the river, higher than the old bridge that is still standing. The new bridge will ease traffic flow to the east, as the old narrow two-lane bridge could slow down through traffic. The government announced the bridge was built at a cost of US$1.36 billion.
