South Guayaquil Viaduct (Fifth bridge)

Description: The project consists in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the road located south of the Santay island, across the Guayas river, in the province of Guayas, with the objectives of allowing easy access to the city of Guayaquil, especially to port facilities; channeling traffic from the south of the country, crossing the Guayas river in the south of Guayaquil; and communicating the cities of Durán and Guayaquil.  Approximately, 2.6mn inhabitants of Guayaquil and Duran will benefit from this work, which will include complementary services such as towing, ambulances, emergency telephones, among others, that will allow better accessibility from the most populated city in Ecuador to the south of the country. It is estimated that the flow of vehicles could be between 15,000 and 25,000 per day, between light and heavy vehicles. The project will also benefit the country's productivity, in addition to improving entry and exit times at the Main Port.
