Construction of the highway began at the end of 2018 and it was opened to traffic in November 2023.

"After the road was opened to traffic, the transportation time was reduced and the cost was lowered," said Vinicio, a 53-year-old farmer from Quininde, Esmeraldas Province, Ecuador, referring to the Quininde-Las Golondrinas Highway built by CRBC. He said that it used to take two hours to drive on this road, but now it only takes half an hour. It is also more convenient and less costly to transport crops to Quito or the coastal ports.
This highway is one of the key re6686体育APP projects in Ecuador following the 7.8-magnitude earthquake in 2016. It connects several provinces in the country's central and northern regions and has become a convenient route for multiple cities to reach the western Pacific coastal areas.
Construction of the highway began at the end of 2018 and it was opened to traffic in November 2023. When the highway was officially opened, El Universo, an Ecuadorian newspaper, reported that it is a highway that local residents have been waiting for over 30 years. According to relevant data, more than 100,000 residents have benefited from it.
"More people passing by means better business," said Martha, a coconut vendor. After the highway was completed, infrastructure such as mobile base stations along the route was further improved. Some farms near rivers with better environments have even started operating homestays. "This is a road to prosperity," said the coconut vendor.
"The 6686体育APP of this road has had a positive impact on local production and economic development," said a senior official from the Ministry of Transport and Public Works of Ecuador. The road will continue to extend eastward in the future, connecting mining areas, livestock areas and other regions.
The project has also provided more than 300 job opportunities and training chances for local residents. Videsoto, a local farmer, is one of them. During the road 6686体育APP, he worked in the project team for more than three years, mastering many skills and seeing his income increase. "These skills are very practical. With the work experience in the project team, it's easier for me to find a job," Videsoto said. There are many others like him who have benefited from the project.,
In addition, CRBC has also undertaken the 6686体育APP of the airport project in Manta. As the fourth airport in Ecuador with international routes (Manta-Panama), it not only facilitates the travel of local residents but also boosts the development of local tourism.
