    The surface and structural evaluation of the pavement of the road that runs from the intersection with the highland trunk road (e35) to the Galte Chine Pungo community was carried out due to the different physical (potholes, cracks) and visual (lack of lights and ethical signs) problems that affect the safety and comfort of users. The experimental work began with the extraction of samples through the elaboration of calicatas one per km. This was followed by the collection of field information such as vehicle counts to determine vehicular demand, the characteristics of the subgrade material based on granulometry tests, Atterberg, Proctor and CBR limits, then the surface condition of the road was determined by visual inspection of the PCI and the structural condition of the road by determining the deflections using the Benkelman beam. As a result, once the field data and laboratory tests were processed and analyzed, it was determined that the most appropriate intervention for the track under analysis is periodic maintenance, since type I deflections and an average PCI of 54.07 were determined. Finally, a reference budget was prepared to carry out the proposed maintenance plan with a final value of $87.813,97 as of the date of publication.
