Impact and outlook
The Government explained that the works aim to transform critical mobility points in the Greater Santo Domingo, as well as create green areas and improve drainage capacity in flood‑prone zones. The Avenida República de Colombia project includes a green zone of about 24,000 square meters near the Botanical Garden, and its execution is estimated to last 24 months.
President Luis Abinader, together with Eduardo Estrella, Minister of Public Works, and José Paliza, Minister of the Presidency, emphasized that Aerodom funds are earmarked for projects that will continue over the coming months and, in some cases, until 2027. Progress in project execution remains around 35 % of the contracted resources.
