The Carretera De Samana (Spanish for: Santo Domingo-Samana Highway) is the newest addition to the Dominican Republic national highway system. The actual construction of the Highway started in the 2005 by the Secreatary of Public Works And Communication(SEOPC). As of November 2007 the highway is under Paving and is expected to be finished by February 2008. Since the landscape is difficult and the financing has been a major issue the project has stalled a few time delaying the project.
The new Two lane highway is expected to convert Samana another Touristic Hub in the Dominican Republic. The highway will reduce a trip from Santo Domingo to Samana from 4 hours and 30 Minutes to less than 2 hours. The Highway is expected to reduce the traffic along the DR-1 which is the present highway used to drive to Samana.
The Highway Starts in the National highway DR-3(30 KM from Santo Domingo) and ends on Cruse Rinco de Monillos, Samana Province
