The new Camú River bridge in Puerto Plata is moving forward
Construction of the new bridge over the Camú River in Puerto Plata is moving at a good pace, according to Dominican Today. The project replaces the old structure that collapsed in April 2016 and ranks as a high priority. It is about time this connection got fixed, because the area depends on it for daily life and for tourism.
For the tourism industry, this is not a routine road repair. It is proof that infrastructure is finally keeping up with the destination. If Puerto Plata wants to go head to head with Punta Cana, it needs proper access, and this bridge is a clear piece of that.
The key is to make sure it does not stay a press release. I see this as a chance for hoteliers and tour operators to start telling a better story about connectivity in the region. With the bridge moving forward, the province gains real arguments to attract more flights, more cruise passengers and longer stays.
