The Dominican Republic has formally opened the new San Pedro de Macoris-La Romana highway.
Dominican President Danilo Medina was on hand to inaugurate the project, which is part of the government’s Eastern Tourist Corridor project.
The 22-kilometre road project has the capacity for more than 2,000 vehicles per day across four lanes.
The highway joins La Romana with Santo Domingo in just 50 minutes and with Punta Cana with just a 40-minute drive.
It’s the latest in a series of large-scale highway projects undertaken by the country’s government in recent years.
