Tumbaco II interchange the step The ceramics, finishing with the construction of
Bridge over the Chiche River ending at the Puembo interchange.

The typical cross-section of the live route is 3.65 m for 3 bidirectional lanes.

The project is located in the canton of Quito, within the jurisdiction of the parishes of
Cumbayá, Tumbaco, Puembo, Tababela, and Pifo, belonging to the DMQ.

With the VIVA Route, vehicular traffic on Interoceánica Avenue will be reduced by 50%
approximately, reaching 22,300 vehicles per day. The length of the road will be
12.9 km, between Av. Simón Bolívar and the parish of Puembo, mentioned above.

2. INFORMATION ON SECTIONS AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESSES.

Viva Route is built and developed in different sections, starting from the
Auquitas interchange, and continuing with the previously mentioned route.
It was divided, due to financial availability, the hiring into two phases that will be constructed.

to reach the La Primavera urbanization, covering a distance of 5.5 km. The Lumbisí Escalon has a
length of 1.8km.

Auquitas Interchanger:

Located at the intersection with Simón Bolívar Avenue, it allows for organization.

Interchange and Lumbisí step:

The Lumbisí interchange serves as the starting point of the Lumbisí step, which connects with the
Auqui Primavera interchange on Interoceanica Avenue. The Lumbisí step has a length
of 1.8 km, of four lanes of traffic being built over.

In Phase II of the VIVA Route, the road crosses the San Pedro River in the area called Rojas, then

Phase II, which runs from the bridge over the San Pedro River to the parish of Puembo, has
a length of 7.4 km, and includes the construction of the Intervalles interchanges and
Puembo, in addition to the La Cerámica step (0.6 km) with its respective interchange and 2
three-lane bridges each over the San Pedro River located near the
population of Tumbaco with a length of 214.8 m and 2 three-lane circulation bridges
each one on the Chiche River located near the town of Puembo with a length of
314.5 m.

Pedestrian Crossings

In total, there are around 11 overpasses in Ruta Viva, meaning vehicular overpasses.

communities that were cut off due to the construction of this road. It is also known that the

We have the presence of two staircases that connect Ruta Viva with the
Interoceanic Avenue, which serves as a bypass or detour for traffic
towards connectivity points with the community.

controlled by Oversight for the proper deployment of asphalt sheet.

As an interesting fact, we can also obtain the use of the iron or also wrongly called
"Finisher" since it is responsible for finishing the lane in two sections for each lane and that
through sensors it ensures that the asphalt layer is placed at the same level as the
section completed earlier.

4. CONSTRUCTION PROCESS:
According to data from EPMOOP, the Auquitas interchange was developed in such a way that the most
The movement of the earth was primordial.

COLLECTORS: There are countless collectors, what is at the Lumbisi step, it was about
from a ravine where the filling processes were the primary part for the
development of this structure, so that the objective of linking the explained avenues is set
previously.

In Ruta Viva, 3 methods for slope stabilization have been developed.

Shotcrete: A pressure pump is used which fulfills the purpose of
projecting the concrete which has a low dosage and the aggregate is of
average granulometry since this facilitates its passage over the hoses to
to use.

Malla for torsion, strategic placement of anchors: A small one is placed.

1 inch separators made with local or construction material
surplus and is covered with 5 cm of concrete, guides are placed to facilitate the

which produce roots, and these in turn generate branches that penetrate
each time on the ground, resulting in the stability of the slope.

The main category and therefore the most expensive in the construction of Ruta Viva is the
earthmoving since in some places machinery was used
specialized for the issue of cuts and fills with the same material.
The pavement structure used on Ruta Viva is:

0.12 m

0.20 m

BASE = 0.20 m
Note: The asphalt layer is placed in such a way that first 7.5 cm is laid as the first layer.
Next, a binder is poured and the second layer is placed, which will be 4.5 cm, completing the
of the 12 cm planned by the designer.

Similarly, in phases 1 and 2, a number of collectors are managed, designed

so that a separate sewage system can be used, meaning it separates water
sewage rainwater. However, for this, the construction of a
wastewater treatment plant to serve the communities with the same
benefited by this work.

Meanwhile, the collectors operate in a combined manner, as it only anticipates the

construction of this treatment plant. Therefore, there are blockages of ducts that
they only guide the wastewater to the respective inspection wells and the same ones
They discharge in ravines authorized by the responsible environmental entity.

5. STRUCTURES AND BRIDGES:

Along the course of the track, there are different types of structures needed.
for its proper functioning, the structures that will be built are the corresponding ones
to the large illuminated bridges over the Chiche and San Pedro rivers, and the upper steps 13 and
14, part of the Puembo interchange.

The road project crosses the San Pedro and Chiche rivers, where the base design has opted for the
construction of bridges in successive cantilevers.

The project crosses a densely populated area, which is why it generates

interruptions on some cross streets that exist in the area. To provide continuity to

with self-supporting formwork. This type of construction involves executing the board of the
bridge without traditional formwork or shoring supported on the ground, in successive sections
called voussoirs.

Each of these elements is built in cantilevers with respect to those that precede it,

One of the bridges is the continuous portal type, built by advancing in successive cantilevers in
prestressed concrete, with inclined piers in the shape of a "V".

In each stack, there are two pendular supports, which provides a system of
seismic isolation. The sliding pendulum bearing devices consist of a base

as well as increasing damping through energy dissipation. All of this
greatly favors the global behavior of the structure against the seismic hypothesis.
