Additionally, 1.7 kilometers of secondary roads connecting different sectors were paved.\n\n\n

Economic, productive and social impact<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\nDuring the opening ceremony, the Minister of Public Works and Communications, Eduardo Estrella, highlighted that the work will have a direct impact on the local and regional economy, by significantly improving the transportation of agricultural production, the main economic engine of the area.\n\n\n

Highlights construction of works under Abinader’s management<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\nThe municipal mayor, Leonardo L\u00f3pez, stated that in the last 20 years of previous administrations very little was done for the development of the municipality, while in the current administration of President Luis Abinader important works have been executed.\n\nIn that sense, he cited the construction of a police detachment, sanitary sewerage, the renovation of hospitals, the creation of a municipal park and a multi-purpose facility, as well as the Villa Riva\u2013Arenoso highway, gabion walls in Reventaz\u00f3n, the paving of the urban area and the renovation of sidewalks and curbs.\n\n\n

Connectivity, security and opportunities<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\nWith this road, Villa Riva integrates into a national logistics axis, strengthening its access to Santo Domingo and the tourist destinations of the northeast, increasing its attractiveness for private investments and improving access to essential services such as education, health, and employment.\n\nLikewise, the work enhances road safety levels, thanks to adequate signage and a road surface in optimal conditions, which contributes to reducing accident risks. Indirectly, it also boosts opportunities in sectors such as transportation, services, and commerce along the route.\n\n\n
