This is the Autopista del Ámbar and Circunvalación Santiago project, a modern road connection that will transform the way we travel between Santiago de los Caballeros and Puerto Plata. In this blog, we will explore the benefits and the impact that this important project will have on both the real estate sector and the economic development of the area.
Linking Santiago de los Caballeros and Puerto Plata
The main objective of this project is to promote the construction of an efficient and modern road connection between Santiago de los Caballeros and Puerto Plata. Currently, access to Puerto Plata is only possible through the “Santiago-Navarrete-Puerto Plata” and “Gregorio Luperón” highways, which were built more than 50 years ago and do not meet today’s traffic volume standards. The Amber Highway seeks to change this situation, providing a faster and safer alternative for travel between the two cities.
Benefits of the Amber Highway:
The commissioning of the Amber Highway will bring a number of significant benefits to the region. In the first place, it will improve traffic flow, reducing congestion and accident levels in the area. In addition, it is estimated that the new route will save almost an hour in travel time from Santiago to Puerto Plata, as well as reduce fuel consumption and maintenance costs for vehicles traveling between the heart of the Cibao and the Atlantic Coast.
Integration with the Santiago Beltway and the Punta Bergantín Project:
The Amber Highway is not an isolated project, but is integrated with the Santiago Beltway and part of the Punta Bergantín real estate development project. This integration creates a road and tourist circuit that will enhance the development of the northern region of the Dominican Republic. With this connection, the trip from Santo Domingo will take about two hours and from Santiago less than 30 minutes to Puerto Plata, which will facilitate access to this beautiful region for visitors and residents.
Promoting economic and tourism development:
The Amber Highway will be a catalyst for economic development in the region. The direct connection between the Heart City, Santiago de los Caballeros, and the Atlantic Coast will open new opportunities for local productive sectors. Businesses in the area will have access to a wider market and will be able to compete more effectively in the global economy.
In particular, the real estate and tourism sector will benefit significantly. The new highway will accelerate investment in tourism real estate developments in Puerto Plata, attracting a greater number of visitors from the capital and other regions. Puerto Plata’s hotel offerings, now only two hours away from Santo Domingo, will become an attractive option for those looking to explore the beauties of the Atlantic Coast.
The Amber Highway and Santiago Bypass is a major road project that will mark a before and after in the connectivity and development of the northern region of the Dominican Republic. In our real estate agency, we are excited about the opportunities that this important work will bring to the real estate and tourism sector of Puerto Plata.
