Santo Domingo.- The RD Vial Trust reported that toll collections reached RD$5.78 billion during the first five months of 2026, driven by more than 42.3 million vehicle crossings through the country’s 17 toll stations.

According to RD Vial Director Hostos Rizik, the average monthly revenue exceeded RD$1.15 billion, while monthly traffic averaged more than 8.4 million vehicles. He noted that most of these funds are allocated to financing, expanding, and constructing key road infrastructure projects executed by the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC).

Between January and April 2026, investments financed through RD Vial collections totaled more than RD$3.08 billion. Since 2021, cumulative investments have reached approximately RD$59.3 billion, supporting major road projects across the country.
