The construction of the Santo Domingo Metro is advancing as planned despite the heavy rains that have affected the city in recent weeks, according to Leonel Carrasco from the Office for the Reorganization of Transport (OPRET), which is executing the project. He admitted that the rain has hindered some of the work, but said that OPRET has used that time to perform other work that needs to be done. Diario Libre reports that less than one year after the work started, the super-structure of the railway in Villa Mella is already being installed. Work has already started on seven of the 10 underground stations which will make up the first subway line, and the remainder are due to be started before the end of the year. In addition, 85% of the tunnel between the 27 de Febrero and the National Theater station is already complete, according to Carrasco.
