Default Politicians coming to Town or what???

They are repaving the perfectly good road going through the center of Cabarete. Do you suppose:
  • a Politician is about to visit
OR
  • they are getting ready to dig trenches through the new asphalt for water or sewar lines - AGAIN

It is nice to see new road but there are many secondary roads here in Cabarete that are more in need of 4 inches of asphalt than the main road that was repaved about 2 years ago and has stood up well.

Anyone coming into Cabarete this morning, expect lots of traffic confusion and backups. It looks like they are now repaving the center section of the road.

Some people could go to a party at the playboy mansion, and complain about the temperature of the water in the jacuzzi.....

...they certainly would have a right too if the water was being drained to install a new air jet in the middle of the party... (keeping analogies straight)

Huh? Don't they do that everywhere?

I do expect that they will be digging up the road soon to install the remainder of what is needed for the sewer system, so it is the perfect time to repave it.

( I make joke, but it could be true).

Right now they are paving the southern and final 1/3 of the road. The traffic is a mess so do not be in a hurry if you are coming to or going through Cabarete.

What a hilarious nightmare. All cars and trucks including the paving vehicles have been at a standstill for 20 minutes. The only vehicles moving are the motoconchos and they have taken over the sidewalks.
