The Electricity Distributor for the East (EdeEste) has issued a public complaint calling attention to the fact that the electricity cables along the Las Americas Expressway have been stolen to the extent that barely 2% of the highway is getting service. The Juan Bosch Bridge was left without much electricity after vandals stole over a kilometer of cables. This has also been the case on Duarte Bridge where thieves removed 29 of 36 newly installed lights. According to Hoy, the stolen cables will not be replaced until an alliance is formed with the civil and military authorities to put a stop to the thievery. The only stretch of the Las Americas Expressway that is still illuminated is precisely the area near the police station.
