The Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) in Santo Domingo has announced a temporary closure of the Floating Bridge to vehicular traffic on Saturday, November 1, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. This brief shutdown is necessary to facilitate the safe departure of the vessel M/V Tuckernuck from the M&D Marine Repairs dry dock. The bridge, a vital link between the National District and Santo Domingo East, will be inaccessible during this two-hour period. Authorities have urged drivers and frequent users of the bridge to plan their journeys accordingly and utilize alternative routes to avoid disruptions. The MOPC emphasized that this action is part of established maritime coordination protocols designed to ensure safe navigation and secure transit across the structure. The ministry reiterated its dedication to maintaining orderly and efficient mobility for all citizens, underscoring its commitment to public safety and operational efficiency.
