Supervisor of Public Works for the Presidency, Felix Bautista has announced the opening of bids for the construction or re-construction of the nation's principal highways. He told reporters from El Caribe that 920 kilometers of highway will be under repair or remodeling, and the cost is estimated at US$700 million. Many of the roadways will be rebuilt under a concession that will allow the construction company to collect tolls for up to thirty years. Among the highways mentioned is the one linking Navarrete with Puerto Plata, which apparently met with Presidential displeasure during a recent visit by the Chief Executive to the tourist center. Also mentioned by Bautista is the highway that joins San Francisco de Macoris and Nagua, the gateway city to the Samana Peninsula.
