As the PLD internal election process heats up, it appears that President Leonel Fernandez is in a fixing mood. Newspaper reports of the deterioration of the new Juan Bosch Bridge over the Ozama River apparently moved the President to order repair works. At the same time, Public Works Minister Freddy Perez announced the repair of the Duarte Bridge and the completion of the Nunez de Caceres Tunnel. A visit from bachata singer Anthony Santos resulted in a presidential promise to fix the streets of the musician's hometown of Las Matas de Santa Cruz in Monte Cristi Province. El Caribe says that the popular singer's visit to the Presidential Palace caused a commotion among the employees, as everyone wanted to get their pictures taken with him. While Minister Perez did not say how much the street and highway repairs were going to cost, he did mention that RD$36 million would be spent on the bridge repairs.
