January 5, 2019. As reported by Eric Urbahn (LOE project Architect). Saturday our project Architect reported that on a drive from Luperon to Maimon (The Maimon Coastal Highway) was under heavy construction in the section from Cambiaso to Maimon. As a reference a year ago the section from Luperon to Cambiaso was upgraded by the town of Luperon as a hard pack gravel or Caliche Road. It's a very big improvement over the rough rutted cart part that was the previous road. The section from Cambiaso which is the bay beach just to the east of LOE was not upgraded. The report is as follows: Road work seen today on the Maimon - Cambiaso road. Many big trucks, and at one site, two large tanks that said "productos asfaltos" next to what looked like a small asphalt plant...right next to the road.
This is fantastic news for LOE. This will mean that the closer direct route from Puerto Plata will be a full paved road cutting a large amount of time off the drive form the Puerto Plata Airport. More to follow on the updates with this news and upgrade.
