During the visit, Minister Bisonó was accompanied by the Governor of the province, Mrs. Rosa Santos Méndez, the mayor of Santiago Ulises Rodríguez, part of the technical team responsible for the work, civil and electrical contractors, as well as business and commercial representatives, including ASECENSA, the Strategic Plan of Santiago, APEDI, AIREN and ACIS. "We are here by instruction of the president, because this is a commitment from everyone. We will be monitoring the schedule day by day so that it is completed in the shortest possible time and with the appropriate quality," said the minister. As explained, engineers project that, if weather conditions permit, the paving of the two blocks currently under construction could be completed by the end of March. However, he/she pointed out that the priority is for the work to be of the same quality standard as the sections already completed. Bisonó indicated that permanent coordination is maintained with the executing unit. He detailed that the works include the undergrounding and concatenation of sanitary, electrical, and potable water services, as well as improvements in the filling materials for greater durability. For their part, local authorities explained that factors such as the high water table, the presence of groundwater, recent rains, and the technical complexity of the service tunnel have affected the pace of progress. Likewise, it was agreed to work in shorter sections to improve control, agility, and the quality of execution.
