Abinader inaugurates the new bridge over the Camú River
President Luis Abinader inaugurated the new bridge over the Camú River this Friday, a project that restores the road connection between Santiago and Puerto Plata, according to Dominican Today. The work was completed in record time and brings normalcy back to a corridor that carries much of the Cibao's commercial and tourist traffic.
For the sector, the read is straightforward. Puerto Plata regains smooth access from the country's interior, and that means easier arrivals for visitors landing at Cibao International Airport and heading to the coast. Hotels in the province, tour operators running excursions to Sosúa and Cabarete, and the MITUR itself now have one more argument to sell the destination as a complete circuit: city, mountains and beach without road friction.
Investment in road infrastructure rarely makes it into promotional campaigns, but it sustains daily operations. A working bridge is a destination that sells better, and the Dominican Republic adds another stretch to the network connecting its tourism hubs.
