The road has a length of 4404.36 meters; according to the traffic count and its respective analysis, a fourth order road was determined, where a total width of 9.20 meters was necessary, including lane width, curbs and shoulders. The topographic study consists of a 40-meter strip width starting from the road axis; for the soil study, borings were made every 500 meters starting from the 0+500.00 km abscissa. The geometric design included: horizontal and vertical design, cross sections, mass diagram and cut and fill volumes. The improvement of this road is a fundamental part for the development of the parish of Santiago de Calpi, since it allows improving livestock, agriculture, tourism and communication between neighboring sectors, as well as providing safety and comfort for road users.
