Las Terrenas - El Limón road is being asphalted

Atlantic Tourist Boulevard

This week, workers will put asphalt on the road connecting El Limón and Las Terrenas on the Samaná Peninsula.
This is the last stage of this piece of roadwork, which began one year ago.

This new highway connects the entrance of Las Terrenas, at the bottom of the hill coming from Sanchez, to the road in El Limón, after the airport in Portillo.

For the construction of this road, four bridges were built; in Arroyo Seco, the Río de Las Terrenas, La Ciénaga, and finally in front of Los Parques in Las Terrenas.

The detour aims to allow high-capacity trucks to bring goods to the town, without having to pass through it. The plan is to have the goods brought to special storage units, where they would then be distributed throughout the village by trucks of lesser capacity.
