San Cristóbal – In a significant move to enhance regional connectivity and economic integration, President Luis Abinader officially inaugurated the rehabilitated Sabana Toro–La Rosa highway on Thursday. This long-awaited project, executed by the Dominican Hydroelectric Generation Company (EGEHID) under its social responsibility program, represents a transformative step for one of the province’s most productive areas. With an investment of RD$200.9 million, the project was developed by Grupo Gil Calro SRL and spans five kilometers. It features upgraded infrastructure, including new sidewalks, curbs, asphalt paving, drainage systems, road signage, and the relocation of electrical poles. EGEHID’s General Manager, Rafael Salazar, emphasized that the project addresses a “historical debt” owed to communities such as Sabana Toro, La Rosa, Villegas, Telín, and El Pueblecito, which have long struggled with limited access to markets, schools, and essential services. The new highway will streamline travel between Cambita, Los Cacaos, and Villa Altagracia, bypassing San Cristóbal’s center and significantly reducing travel times and transportation costs. Local resident Asunción Brito, speaking on behalf of the community, expressed heartfelt gratitude, highlighting that the road “brings real development and new opportunities for the families who live and work here.”
