Good luck

That road is closed due to storm damage and the overflowing river Santiago to Cabarete

JJ is a professional driver mmh, I am sure that if one of the three roads (or even TWO of them) are closed, he will already know about it & choose the third option. A little longer route agreed but normally very passable even in the worst scenarios!! ~ Grahame.
