Alert in Samaná: Dangerous sinkhole threatens road safety in the Hondura area
Drivers and residents of the Samaná province remain on alert due to the presence of a dangerous sinkhole on the main road, specifically in the Hondura sector, past the entrance to Puerto Bahía. The progressive deterioration of this important road represents a latent risk for those who travel through the area daily.
According to reports obtained by Alofoke Deportes, repair work is currently at a standstill. The main obstacle is the position of a telephone pole belonging to the company Claro, whose relocation is essential for the authorities to be able to intervene on the land and correct the subsidence safely.
A call for coordinated action
Although temporary signage has been placed to warn motorists, the sinkhole continues to expand, increasing the possibility of serious accidents. Given this situation, an urgent call has been made to the company Claro to coordinate with the corresponding public institutions and proceed with the relocation of the pole as soon as possible.
Prevention and timely intervention are fundamental to avoid a tragedy on one of the province’s highest-traffic roads.
This case highlights the imperative need for effective communication between utility companies and the State when basic infrastructure interferes with road safety. The community of Santa Bárbara de Samaná and frequent users of this route hope that the competent authorities will prioritize this work before the deterioration of the road surface causes a regrettable incident.
- Critical location: Hondura Zone, after Puerto Bahía.
- Cause of delay: Telecommunications infrastructure preventing repairs.
- Risk: High traffic flow on a vital road for the province.
