EdeEste and the Santo Domingo East city council have recently reinstated street lighting along a 10-kilometer stretch of the Las Americas Expressway that leads to the Las Americas International Airport and the east of the country. The finished project, which extends from Juan Carlos Bridge to the toll booths along Las Americas Expressway, lights both sides of the motorway, and included the installation of 55 kilometers of cable, 747 bulbs, 31 transformers, and 7 metallic posts.
Jesus Bolinaza, general manager of EdeEste told El Caribe newspaper that the lighting situation on the expressway had deteriorated due to massive theft of roadside cables and transformers. To prevent this from happening in the future, EdeEste has installed aerial cables. Bolinaza also guaranteed that EDEE would keep the motorway lit up throughout the night and would be ensuring its continued maintenance. He asked the Armed Forces and the National Police to help with this.
Santo Domingo East mayor Juan de los Santos said that the project was part of a strategic plan to improve public spaces in the municipality, and that its completion came about as a result of an agreement between former mayor Domingo Batista and EdeEste.
