Storms affect traffic

The intense rains affected traffic along the Duarte Highway at km. 59 (to the west of Villa Altagracia) towards Bonao. In the south, the flooding of Ocoa river caused disruption to traffic between Azua and Peravia provinces and affected several communities in the vicinity of Palmar de Ocoa. As a result, dozens of trucks loaded with farm products from Barahona and San Juan de la Maguana could not make it to the capital on Sunday, affecting supermarket fresh food supplies. On the south east coast, there was flooding for about 500 meters at Km. 16 on Las Americas Expressway, causing major traffic delays.

Last minute reports are that traffic to the Southwest was restored in the early morning.
