BiggerUrban renewal works to begin November 11, affecting key intersections in Colonial City
Santo Domingo.- Starting Tuesday, November 11, 2025, residents and visitors in Colonial City should take precautions due to temporary construction work at the intersections of Espaillat and Arzobispo Nouel Streets, as well as Arzobispo Nouel and Hostos Streets.
According to authorities, these interventions form part of the urban renewal and transformation project currently underway in the historic center of Santo Domingo, aimed at improving infrastructure and preserving the area’s cultural heritage.
Motorists and pedestrians are encouraged to plan alternative routes and consult the official project platforms for updated detour maps and traffic guidance during the works.
Urban renewal should be in other parts of country, not just Colonial Zone. However, because tourism is the country’s cash cow the zone is first in line to get a fresh coat of paint.
It is a UNESCO Heritage site so of course it’s of higher importance than other parts of the country, it’s not just about tourism.
