    The current state of the Catimbo - Chiambiato Road was addressed, characterized by concerning deterioration in the road surface structure. Given this situation, it was imperative to thoroughly analyze the road conditions to identify areas most affected by deformations and wear, in order to propose an appropriate conservation plan to enhance its quality and safety. A rigorous research process was conducted, involving a topographic survey and an assessment of traffic using the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) methodology. These analyses provided a detailed view of the road situation, identifying critical points with significant deterioration problems. Additionally, fundamental aspects such as soil characteristics, Proctor, PCI, and CBR were evaluated to determine the main causes of observed deterioration. Based on the analysis, a comprehensive conservation plan was proposed, encompassing various corrective actions. These included patching and repairing potholes and cracks, resurfacing the road surface, and implementing erosion control measures. The plan was grounded in clear conservation objectives and tailored to existing budget limitations. Furthermore, it employed a methodology based on Ecuadorian road regulations and applied scientific and technical criteria to ensure reliable results. The study offered a holistic view of the road's condition, proposing an effective conservation plan aimed at enhancing the quality and safety of the road segment.
