Santo Domingo has witnessed a significant leap in urban infrastructure as President Luis Abinader officially inaugurated the state-of-the-art overpass linking the 27 de Febrero Extension and Isabel Aguiar Avenue. This ambitious project, funded by RD$2 billion secured through the renegotiation of the AERODOM contract, marks a pivotal moment in the city’s transportation landscape, promising to benefit over one million daily commuters across Greater Santo Domingo. The overpass is projected to slash travel times by up to 40% for routes connecting Santo Domingo Oeste, the South region, and the National District, while simultaneously enhancing safety, fuel efficiency, and overall productivity. Accompanied by Public Works Minister Eduardo Estrella, President Abinader highlighted that this initiative is a cornerstone of a broader urban mobility strategy, which includes the development of a new transport terminal, a cable car system, and ongoing metro expansions. These combined efforts aim to alleviate chronic congestion, particularly at the city’s western entry points. Spanning 480 meters, the overpass boasts three sections, eight operational ramps, and six lateral lanes designed to accommodate both heavy and light traffic. Constructed to meet the rigorous AASHTO 2018 international standards, the structure features advanced drainage systems connected to the Guajimía ravine, capable of managing up to one million gallons of water, thereby mitigating flood risks in the area.
