SANTO DOMINGO.- The Colonial City will gain ten thousand square meters of sidewalk space with the rehabilitation of the public spaces of its streets that will be carried out within the framework of the Comprehensive Program for Tourist and Urban Development of the Colonial City of Santo Domingo (Pidtuccsd).

This tender represents a comprehensive recovery of approximately 4,700 meters of street sections, at an estimated cost of 24 million dollars, Mitur reports in a press release.
