My husband and I took the new highway (freeway) back from Samana to SD. We got mixed info right up until the end, and we decided we would just go for it. First, we did make it safely to SD, but barely. It wasn't a 1 1/2 hour trip, as was told to us, but more like 3 hours. Most of it was muddy or in the process of being leveled - it was not paved. That is one of the reasons it took so long. There were spots I thought we were going to get stuck. It is VERY isolated, so you are likely to be the only vehicle on the road. Now this was in Feb. 2008, so maybe it has changed. I took pictures of some of it. We were in a good vehicle... a Navigator, and I didn't feel safe. I wouldn't do it again, nor would anyone we were traveling with.
