President Leonel Fernandez cut the symbolic ribbon marking the inaugural of the overpass at Charles de Gaulle and San Isidro Highway in eastern Santo Domingo yesterday.
The four-lane overpass is 400 meters long, 18.20 meters wide and 5.40 meters high. Brazilian firm Norberto Odebrecht and local firm Ingenieria Estrella were responsible for its construction, operating as part of the Consorcio Corredor Duarte.
The construction is aimed at reducing traffic congestion in Greater Santo Domingo and is part of the Duarte Corridor, built with loans from Brazil.
During the event Public Works Minister Victor Diaz Rua announced that the next Duarte Corridor work to be completed would be the tunnel under Nunez de Caceres and 27 de Febrero avenues, scheduled for April.
