In a ceremony held in the mayor’s office, the Santo Domingo Oeste City Hall formalized contracts for over RD$182 million with eight companies and contractors. The investment, which will be allocated to an extensive program of road and urban infrastructure works, aims to address the needs of local communities and improve the quality of life of its residents.
Road and urban planning projects in detail
- El Palmar de Herrera: construction of Benigno Méndez Street and Escalones Street on Amor de Dios Street, as well as the reconstruction of Santa Teresita Street at kilometer 13 of Sánchez Avenue.
- Hato Nuevo: intervention on streets 1 to 10 in the Lotería sector and implementation of the RIMAX Project, which includes Hermanas Mirabal Street, Profesor Juan Bosch Street, Francisco del Rosario Sánchez Street, Salomé Ureña Street and Caonabo Street.
- Pueblo Chico, San Miguel and Bella Colina: improvement of Esperanza Street in the El Limoncillo sector and works on Samán Street.
Mayor Francisco Peña emphasized that the investment seeks to ensure “lasting works, quality paving and dignified urban infrastructure” for the entire area. “We will not stop until we completely transform Santo Domingo Oeste,” he said, underscoring the City Hall’s commitment to improving streets, sidewalks, parks and public spaces.
Monitoring and supervision of the works
The Santo Domingo Oeste City Hall will take charge of supervising the execution of the projects, ensuring that deadlines and technical specifications established in the contracts are met. The Public Works Director of ASDO, Alexis Ferreras, the general supervisor of the works, Lucía de Rosa, and the Director of Procurement and Contracts, Ingrid Genao, were present during the signing and pledged to guarantee the proper use of the resources.
Impact on the community
The works will include paving, construction of streets and sidewalks, installation of containers, speed bumps and the restoration of public spaces. It is expected that the modernization of the road network will improve access to services, reduce travel time and provide safety to residents of the affected areas.
Economic and social context
The RD$182 million investment represents a direct response to the demands of the Santo Domingo Oeste population, where the lack of road infrastructure has caused congestion and mobility constraints. The project aligns with the City Hall’s works plan, which aims to boost the local economy and sustainable development through the creation of temporary jobs and improved connectivity.
