SANTO DOMINGO. According to the Office for the Reorganize Asian of Transportation (Opret), the excavation for the tunnel for the extension of Line 2 of the Santo Domingo Metro "is advancing at a good speed," which has allowed them at this time to have "much more than a kilometer of tunnel completed on the Line," besides other important advances in the construction of the bridge over the Ozama River.
Completing more than a kilometer of the tunnel means that they have completed approximately a third of the 3.41 km that have to be dug in order to connect the San Vicente de Paul Avenue at the head of the Francisco Del Rosario Sanchez Bridge to the Mendoza Highway, although this line will only go so far as the Carretera Mella.
The deputy director of Opret, Leonel Carrasco, told Diario Libre that in the case of the bridge "we have finished pouring the great piles that will hold the columns of the Metro on the side of East Santo Domingo; and we expect in the coming weeks that we can say the same about Gualey," said Carrasco.
Along these ideas he explained that they finished pouring the great columns and that they are in the process which will permit the start of the stage which they call the preparation of the pilings, "after which they are going to place a giant tower hundred meters up from the platform which is going to hold the cables for the cable-stayed bridge," said Carrasco. The Opret has defined the cable-stayed bridge across the Ozama River and parallel to the Francisco Del Rosario Sanchez Bridge "as the key benchmark on our timeline" for the construction of the Metro Line that will communicate with the principle city of the province of Santo Domingo.
Nevertheless, in Gualey there continues to be the need to define the last evictions and, in spite of the fact that two columns that are going to begin to go up are the most complex, there will be nine more in the Opret program in order to finish.
