Came Boca Chica to Las Terrenas Monday just gone , no problems on road, two and half hours and I never go above 120KMs. You can get a coffee at the village where they are building the bridge but you have to ask. The one very sad thing for me coming from England is that they have started to put up those horrible advertising hoardings. I remember back in the 50ś a french lady telling me that in one way she was sorry the Germans had gone at least they freed the roads of advertising hoardings. I have complete empathy with her. Just how much benefit does the average peon from the villages passed get from these obscenities?

2 1/2 hours no way you must have stopped for lunch along the way or for pictures on side of road, done that road in just about an hour each time i have used it, yes I do drive a bit fast but still should be no more than 1 1/2 hours at most.

The new road itself (toll booth to toll booth) (there are four) is just under an hour, people will drive it in 37 minutes and others will drive it in an hour and 14 minutes.

Las Terrenas - Downtown Santo Domingo you should figure 2h15m to 2 hours45m.
all depends on the traffic (on either end) and the time of day.
