Anderson De Los Santos reports on detour repair in La Cuesta del Jobo, Yamasá

By: Jonatan Contreras

Monte Plata. – Political leader Anderson De Los Santos reported this Friday morning that he is in the community of La Cuesta del Jobo, where repair work is currently being carried out on the detour that was destroyed by the intense rains recorded in the last few days in the area.

According to their statements, the rainfall caused the collapse of this provisional passage, leaving more than five rural communities isolated, directly affecting dozens of families who depend on this route to travel, carry out commercial activities, and access basic services. Likewise, he explained that the situation also impacted access to the landfill used by the municipalities of Yamasá and Peralvillo, as well as by the municipal district of Los Botados, which has generated difficulties in the collection and disposal of solid waste in these demarcations.

During his tour of the affected area, De Los Santos highlighted the rapid intervention of government brigades that are already working on the rehabilitation of the passage, with the aim of restoring transit as soon as possible and returning normality to the affected communities. In that same order, the leader informed that, as a definitive solution to this recurring problem, the construction of a modern bridge over the Yamasá River is contemplated. This work would guarantee a safer and more permanent connection, especially in rainy seasons, thus preventing the communities from being isolated again. The community has positively valued the start of the works, although they expressed the need to expedite structural solutions to prevent future emergencies.
