Public Works Minister Victor Diaz Rua has told reporters that most of the damage caused by Tropical Storm Noel has been patched up and repaired. The exceptions are the bridges at Madre Vieja and Hato Damas that need to be totally rebuilt. A bridge over the Juma River was knocked off its pilings and needs to be relocated. Referring to the highways, Diaz Rua told a CDN television audience that most places are now accessible, with the exception of Penon in the south west, which is still flooded. Diaz Rua told interviewers that the highway to San Jose de Ocoa, which was partially destroyed by the flooding, would be moved to the other side of the river and repaired. He expected that it would take at least six months to finish the work.
