SANTO DOMINGO. - The RD Vial Trust will invest approximately 1.2 billion pesos in the maintenance of the country's roads and highways during 2023.
According to the director of this agency, Jean Luis Rodríguez, other funds will also be allocated for the renovation and modernization of toll stations.
“Without a doubt, the RD Vial Trust has demonstrated the positive results that public trusts can produce for the development and maintenance of infrastructure, especially public roads and highways,” said Rodríguez while participating in a panel organized by Fiduciaria Reservas.
The official also indicated that the institution he heads will allocate approximately 60% of its budget to improving road networks and 25% to technology for making toll collection more efficient.
“This amounts to around RD$500 million, so road maintenance and technological innovation make operations more efficient and extend the lifespan of the roads. Prevention and innovation are key. That is our vision and commitment to achieving our modernization goals,” he stated.
The director of RD Vial asserted that, with the collection of tolls, "we are maintaining and developing new roads; it is a collective effort between citizens and government.".
