Quinto Período: Desde la caída de Rafael L. Trujillo (1961) hasta
1996
Streets and avenues:
- In the period between 1961 and 1978, several major avenues of Santo Domingo were extended, such as avenues Bolivar, Winston Churchill, Maximum Gomez, Isabel Aguiar, Venezuela and San Vicente de Paul.
- In that same period new roads were also built, such as avenues Anacaona and Mirador (today Avenida de la Salud).
- In 1966, Balaguer continued the project of extending 27 de Febrero Avenue, which ran, until then, from Leopoldo Navarro Avenue to Abraham Lincoln Avenue. In the initial stage, the prolongation reached the Isabel Aguiar Avenue. In 1975 work began to connect the avenue with the Juan Pablo Duarte Bridge, and a year later a connector was built to join the avenue with the Las Américas freeway. Another extension was completed during 1994-1996.
- In the period from 1992-1994, during Balaguer’s administration, both the Mexico and Expreso Quinto Centenario avenues were built.
- In 1990, on the western bank of the Ozama River, the Avenida del Puerto was constructed. Later, it was renamed after Francisco Alberto Caamaño. This route is a prolongation of the levee known as the malecon and, it extends to an unpopulated zone of the La Cienaga neighborhood. In this road we also find Sans Soucí, a touristic sea terminal that was also remodeled during that time.
