Traffic warning

[NewsWhore]

Anyone visiting Santo Domingo today or tomorrow should be aware that the celebration of the XX Rio Summit has led to the closure of a number of roads near the Foreign Ministry building, so plan accordingly and try to find alternative routes beforehand. From 6am today until 7pm on Friday, George Washington Avenue, between Maximo Gomez and Abraham Lincoln Avenues, will be closed and Independencia Avenue, between Lincoln and Alma Mater Avenues will also be closed. Also, access to the Ministry between Correa y Cidron Avenue will be closed, as will Paseo de los Medicos, Huascar Tejeda, Rafael Ravelo, Robert Schomburg and Presidente H. Yrigoyen streets. It is recommended to avoid that side of the city altogether. If you must visit that part of the city, try taking public transportation and walk to your destination, if possible.
