The road is now wider, cleaner, and vegetation is aiding in erosion prevention. All of the improvements contribute to a more pleasant and safer drive. Businesses and locals appreciate the ease of travel on the new Jarabacoa-Constanza road, and it has seen an increase in traffic. Before construction began there were about five vehicles on the road per hour, but now there are more than 30 vehicles per hour. The new road not only improves the lives of the locals by cutting down on travel time, it provides a safer and healthier environment. Road dust has been dramatically reduced and land values near the road have gone up.
