Abstract

Introduction: It is essential to have road infrastructure that ensures safe, comfortable and fluid circulation. However, over time and constant use, these pathways can deteriorate and cause significant problems for users. The road from km 500 to km 505,2, in the Province of Ciego de Avila, does not have good operating conditions, since it has several deteriorations, causing road safety problems. Objective: Develop a maintenance plan to preserve the road. Methods: The Pavement Condition Index Method (PCI) is implemented, determining the components that damage the infrastructure and the deterioration index. Results: The main injuries are identified as edge deterioration, potholes, crocodile skin, fine, transverse and longitudinal cracks, classifying the road as poor, so a maintenance plan is proposed taking into account the interventions that must be carried out as soon as possible to prevent these deteriorations from increasing. Conclusion: It is proven that the analyzed section does not fulfill its main functions of providing comfort and safety to users, showing a deficiency in the components of the road infrastructure.
