I'm a little perplexed with the current situation with the avenida Las Americas in Santo Domingo. I recently came back from our beautiful country but I was saddened to see the state of disrepair this highway is in. With all the money being spent by the government on new constructions projects, why is this highway neglected? The placards marking the names and emblems of the different American countries are missing letters, broken, and sometimes completely missing. Seeing as this is the highway that leads to the airport and thousands of tourist and regular Dominican citizens drive through it every year I would think the government would do everything it can to ensure it stays in tip-top shape. Hopefully when I return next year it will be in better condition. I must say though that I was pleased with the great condition of the autopista Duarte between Bonao and Santo Domingo.
