Diseño vial de la Av. B, Parroquia Tonsupa del cantón Atacames

Abstract

This project aims to develop a technical proposal for the road design of Avenida B, located in the parish of Tonsupa, Atacames canton, Esmeraldas province. Despite the notable urban and touristic growth of the area, its current road infrastructure shows significant deficiencies that negatively impact mobility, safety, and the well-being of local residents.To address this issue, a comprehensive technical process was carried out, which included topographic surveying of the area, analysis of current and projected traffic volumes, evaluation of the surface drainage system, and geotechnical characterization of the soil through laboratory testing. Based on this data, a road design was developed that responds to the actual terrain conditions, prioritizing functionality, durability, and compliance with current regulations. The proposed design includes the horizontal and vertical alignment of the road, the pavement structural section, the drainage system, and the necessary safety elements to ensure an adequate level of service. The objective is to provide a viable and technically sound solution that improves the connectivity of the sector, supports local economic development, and contributes to a more organized and sustainable urban planning process.
