Oh Yes, the detour...last time I was down there (November) I felt like going to Playa Rincon in Samana. After driving for about 10 minutes over that detour road, I stopped and asked some people how much longer I needed to go, and when they told me about 45 more minutes I gave up and drove back up through Cotui and on to Boca Chica instead. It is a pretty rough stretch of a "road". I think the PLD is making the same mistake they made last time, by concentrating all of their money in the big cities and forgetting about project in small cities. This is one that they could have taken care of long time ago. I just read today that they are going to spend about 2 billion pesos to rebuild Duarte Highway...It didn't look in that bad of a shape to me last time I was there. Why not use some of these funds to rebuild the bridge to allow trafic to go through to Nagua as normal, rebuild the road through Tenares (that's another gem of a road), etc...
If they continue with this, they will pay again at the ballot and will open the door, yet again, for the PRD to get back in power...I'm ranting...sorry...
