For years, traveling the six-kilometer stretch of road between Deleite and Dumois was a challenge for the residents of both areas in the municipality of Antilla. During the rainy season, the road would turn into a series of muddy quagmires. Uneven terrain made passage difficult and led to accidents. The transport of people, produce, and goods was entirely dependent on weather conditions.
The situation has changed following the complete rehabilitation of this stretch. The road now has a solid surface, allowing for safer travel. What once might have taken longer—often requiring detours. It has become a functional route connecting these two communities in the province of Holguin.
Residents can now travel with greater ease. The transport of local produce out of the area and the arrival of goods have also been facilitated, which supports local economic activity. For those needing to reach a health center, school, or other institution, this improvement means fewer obstacles in their daily lives.
Moreover the project is part of local authorities’ efforts toward the development of rural areas. Rehabilitating roads is essential for keeping these communities connected and ensuring access to basic services.
In Deleite and Dumois, the difference is evident in daily travel. There is no longer a need to wait for the ground to dry or to navigate dangerous, uneven terrain; the road now allows for smooth passage. The satisfaction expressed by the residents confirms the success of the project and highlights its importance to the area.
