We have the support of the Autonomous Provincial Decentralized Government of Cotopaxi (GADPC) who seeks to collaborate jointly by providing documentation and studies that they have in exchange for assistance to develop a similar project that can be implemented in the future. It should be noted that the study of this road involves different areas of Civil Engineering, such as Topography, Geology, Geotechnics, Soil Mechanics, Hydrology, Hydraulics, among others, in addition to other disciplines such as Economics, Environmental Impact, which allow the studies of a road project. The final design obtained differs in the results adopted by the GADPC because for the development of a real project there is a limited budget and conditions. The design of the road improvement was carried out according to current standards and specifications, so that the road project is kept in optimal conditions during its useful life.
