“This overpass solves a historical traffic problem in the Pintura area and opens up new growth opportunities for the municipality,” he said.

The mayor pointed out that with the funds available, a comprehensive program of street repair and construction will begin, prioritizing those communities that for years have lacked roads in good condition. "We are going to continue with specific streets and with the repair of all the potholes in the municipality. Santo Domingo Oeste is advancing and today it has everything," said Peña.

He also requested the collaboration of the National Institute of Transit and Terrestrial Transportation (INTRANT) to coordinate the traffic light system and organization of traffic in the area, in order to complement the road improvements that accompany this new stage of development in the municipality.
