Work is well underway on the new Casa de Campo “Second Main Gate”, so much so that the main access road from the Casa de Campo resort to Altos de Chavón is being temporarily closed.
From Tuesday February 10th the main access road from the Barranca Este and Las Cañas neighborhoods leading to Altos de Chavón (see map above) will be closed until further notice.
Once opened, the new Casa de Campo second main entrance which will be located at the junction of the La Romana – Casa de Campo International Airport on the El Coral highway.
Although an official opening date has not yet been announced, the new Casa de Campo second main gate is expected to open this year, and work is progressing on schedule with the team currently working on the first round-about which will be located at the main junction between Casa de Campo and Altos de Chavón – hence this road closure.
The new Casa de Campo entrance
Key features
- Located approximately 0.5km off of the highway, to allow for efficient cueing on high traffic days – such as national holidays and concerts. Although of course with 2 entrances in operation and a more efficient entrance process, cueing on high traffic days should be a thing of the past.
- 4 lanes of access.
- A new Casa de Campo Villa Owners office – where visitors will be able to quickly and efficiently register for access to the Casa de Campo resort.
- A larger parking lot for visitors.
- Travel time / distance for visitors and residents staying in the “upper” residential areas of Casa de Campo will be significantly reduced. These areas include Los Altos, Altos de Chavón, Tennis Villas, Barranca, Barranca Este, Las Cañas, Los Tamarindos and others.

The other entrance will remain open
The current Casa de Campo main entrance “La Cana” will remain open and fully functional – for Casa de Campo villa owners, residents and visitors alike.
More good news!
Costasur is also investigating ways in which to further improve the flow of traffic within the Casa de Campo resort. For example, once this new entrance is completed, the volume of traffic on the road with the fire station will experience a much higher flow of traffic – something which Costasur has taken into consideration and is already planning for.
