The Dominican Republic’s Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) has issued a public advisory regarding the temporary suspension of vehicular transit across the Ozama River Floating Bridge. This scheduled interruption will occur on Saturday, January 10, precisely between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.
The closure is necessitated to facilitate the safe passage of three commercial vessels navigating the river channel. Maritime traffic operations will include two ships traveling upstream for docking at the M&D Repair shipyard facility, accompanied by the downstream movement of the Hygrade 42 barge.
In light of this temporary disruption, transportation authorities have proactively recommended that motorists who typically utilize this crossing consider alternative routing strategies. Officials specifically designated the Matías Ramón Mella, Juan Pablo Duarte, and Juan Bosch bridges as viable detour options to maintain regional connectivity.
The MOPC emphasized that this advance notification is part of a comprehensive effort to mitigate potential traffic inconveniences and optimize urban mobility management. The ministry further reaffirmed its institutional dedication to preserving safe, orderly, and efficient transportation infrastructure for all citizens.
