The Gregorio Luperón bridge, popularly known as La Barquita, has been closed since Tuesday for reconditioning work. To avoid the situation affecting urban mobility, the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) in coordination with the National Institute of Land Transport and Road Transport (INTRANT) and the General Directorate of Road Safety and Land Transport (DIGESETT) has published a map of alternative routes.
Recommended routes according to origin and destination
- From Santo Domingo East to the National District: Charles de Gaulle Avenue, followed by Mella Highway and San Vicente de Paul Avenue.
- From Santo Domingo North towards the National District: Charles de Gaulle Avenue towards Villa Mella, then Hermanas Mirabal Avenue and Máximo Gómez Avenue.
Impact on public transportation
Surface transportation operators, including buses and colectivos, must adapt their itineraries and use alternative routes when their schedules coincide with closures. The Line 1 of the Santo Domingo Teleférico will continue to operate without changes, according to the administration.
Security and signaling
During the intervention, the area will have preventive signage and the presence of DIGESETT agents, as well as COMIPOL patrols. Drivers must obey the agents’ instructions and respect the signage to ensure smooth traffic flow.
Digital tools and updates
Closures and detours will be updated in real-time on navigation platforms such as Waze, allowing users to plan their routes in advance. It is recommended to consult the app before starting the trip.
Objective of the works
The purpose of the maintenance work is to preserve the safety of users and improve road infrastructure. The authorities thank the citizens’ understanding and cooperation during the execution of the work.
