Elías Piña.- President Luis Abinader inaugurated the El Cercado–Hondo Valle–Juan Santiago freeway, a significant street infrastructure mission designed to enhance connectivity within the southern border area of the Dominican Republic and stimulate agricultural manufacturing and tourism. The president acknowledged that the freeway, which had been deserted for years, represents a strategic step towards integrating traditionally remoted communities and accelerating regional growth.

Constructed by the Ministry of Public Works, the mission covers roughly 22 kilometers and required an funding of greater than RD$1 billion. In response to Minister Eduardo Estrella, the brand new street has diminished journey time between Santo Domingo and Hondo Valle from greater than six hours to about 4, considerably bettering mobility for residents, producers, and transporters.

Affect on native growth and high quality of life

Authorities emphasised that the freeway will strengthen native commerce, enhance entry to primary companies, and create new alternatives in rural areas, serving to to cut back migration to giant cities. The street instantly connects the municipalities of El Cercado, Hondo Valle, and Juan Santiago, benefiting surrounding communities throughout Elías Piña and San Juan.

In response to official knowledge, greater than 45,000 folks will profit instantly and not directly from the mission, which boosts territorial integration, boosts agricultural exercise, and improves street security. Native authorities highlighted that the brand new infrastructure marks the top of years of isolation and reinforces the federal government’s dedication to sustainable growth and safety within the border area.
