Estudio de ampliación a cuatro carriles de la vía Montecristi - La Cadena, provincia de Manabí, cantón Montecristi longitud 4 kilómetros

Abstract

The present project of length 4.1 km is developed due to the need to improve the condition of the roads in the Manabí province, since there are currently various damages due to the seismic event of April 16, 2016; in addition to population and productive growth, the area has become congested, therefore the expansion to four lanes of the Via Montecristi - La Cadena is essential, being feasible this widening since the expropriations that will be carried out in the area will be on a smaller scale, due to the fact that the majority of nearby constructions respect the right of way; In order to carry out this project, the necessary studies are carried out in the field and the information is processed in the office; so we start with the topographic study in which we obtain our points , through these we obtain our topographic strip, we continue with the traffic study to obtain the number of vehicles and in this way determine the type of road that this area needs, with the data obtained we proceed to design it, in addition with this we determine the vehicle loads and in this way obtain the necessary thickness of the pavement structure; once the above is completed, with the hydrological study we proceed to determine the minimum measures of the drainage works, we also proceed to place the horizontal and vertical signs, to guarantee the safety of the road, once the above is completed we proceed to carry out a study environmental to determine the environmental impacts that the construction of the road produces, in addition to this we proceed to determine an economic-financial analysis to determine the financial indicators such as the VAN, the TIR and the cost benefit that the construction of this expansion will generate.
