Considered one of the masterpieces of the Government in it Greater Santo Domingothe solution to the avenue’s road junction February 27 with Isabel Aguiar (Painting) It is 30% complete in total and 45% in its western trench, while the goal is to put the work into service in the second half of 2025, reported the Minister of Public works, Deligne Ascencion and the company J.M. that executes the project.
This is a work that will impact more than 300,000 people who come to the place every day from the southern provinces, as well as from the sectors of the northern, southern and eastern parts of the city. Initially, a investment of 80 million dollars from the renegotiation of the contract for 775 million dollars between the state and the company Aeropuertos Dominicanos Siglo XXI (Aerodom).
A great work
Deligne Ascencion indicated that probably the road solution of Paint will be the most work important of the country because it comes to solve one of the most critical points in terms of mobility in it Greater Santo Domingo.
“If I had not had the design of a work like this, we are talking about a year and a half, and be careful if two years, here we had to do a series of studies of traffic of microsimulations to be able to guarantee that the solutions that we are giving contribute to solving the problem,” explained the minister.
Includes the construction of an overpass type trench through Isabel Aguiar Avenue and a tunnel through Gregorio Luperón Avenue, as well as a distributor in the connection with the highway November 6.
The jobs were initiated last April, but although they have advanced to the rite programmedas indicated Flavio Camposfrom the executing company J.M.extra work had to be done than planned due to the emission of the sewer system of the Valdesia Santo Domingo aqueduct, which implied the suspension of the water service. water for a week in sectors of the city.
In addition to this situation, another of the biggest challenges has been to make the interventions affecting the environment as little as possible. transit in the intervened area, which warranted coordination inter-institutional with entities such as the Santo Domingo Aqueduct and Sewer Corporation (Caasd).
According to Campos, all excavation of the western part, that is, from Isabel Aguiar towards Extension 27 are already completed and the drainage also 100% completed.
Solution to Guajimía
He indicated that one of the problems encountered was the downloading of water when it was raining from the intersection towards the Guajimía canyon, but the work included the construction of a lagoon that stores the water so that it does not arrive in large quantities and affect the homes around the canyon, as happened before.
“Here a community was created that grew above this ravine, which impedes the natural flow of the water. The Caasd has an excellent job improving that entire gully to guarantee the flow. However, a solution that we have created together with Public works was to create this lagoon where everyone water that low arrives here earlier and here it is going to have a wait, let’s say, it is going to slow down the water and that eliminates the problem of flood“, he stated.
Response to Leonel
Minister Ascención stated that the best example that the resources coming from the agreement with Aerodom are the works in progress and said that the reviews of former president Leonel Fernández are due to his work of questioning what the Government.

“To President Fernández, to whom I give a lot of respect and exquisite treatment as he also does to us, the best example is the progress of this work, which is better than the explanation we can give,” Ascención said.
He maintained that every Thursday he makes a tour of supervision for the works that the Government and, what he did in the intervention of Paint It is not an answer to Fernández’s question.
