Road in Cabarete

Exactly. They just paved the road last Winter. Now they are tearing it up again to install sewer pipes. I guess there is no planning involved!

How about this, a few days ago some men with a big machine arrived near my office in Cabarete and wanted us to move our cars so they could start repairing what had been dug up previously for the sewage, I thought great at last, all done. Then I noticed 2 or 3 guys using some sort of drilling/cutting machine nearby in the road, I asked the guy that was repairing the road what are they doing and he didnt know but went to ask. He came back spoke to the guy in the machine and they stopped work and went away taking their machine with them. So whoever is planning all these works certainly dont talk to each other!! DUH

Well, rumor has it that the situation in Cabrete will remain the same for many months to come, as apparently, and not surprising, the mayor has announced that they have ran out of money...name a project here in the D.R. that was actually finished on time and I will eat my hat! What would be nice to know is how much money was allocated to the road works, and how much money has actually been spent. Christmas is coming and I am sure that a few pesos went towards their own Christmas fund!
Also folks, remember that they also have to work on the other side of the road too.
Last night a bus packed with tourists was going through Cabarete and hit one of the pot holes...just happened to be the biggest, and that bus was swaying so much that it almost tipped...the wheels on the rear left actually left the tarmac...scary stuff.
I have also heard that one or more of the hotels in Cabarete are re-locating guests to Playa Dorada...great for Cabarete economy, eh? I love the Dominicans, but they could not arrange a **** up in a brewery!

The snails pace of the road work to bury the sewer pipe and cut across the highway at frequent intervals continues to the west and is now in the Kite Beach area. Perhaps completion by the next election is not so far fetched an idea.
