The Yumurí-Jobo Claro road, one of the works of greater complexity and socioeconomic importance of those executed in the province after the passing of Hurricane Matthew, is already passable by different types of vehicles.
This was confirmed by Granma in a visit to the new stretch of the road, which aims to avoid crossing the dangerous Boruga hill and allow access to the municipality of Maisí, along the northern coast, for trails, omnibus and other means.
Constructors of Villa Clara, Holguín and Santiago de Cuba still work in the final meters of the completion of the embankment, and those from Guantanamo labor in the paving and the conformation of the gutters.
Frank González Alfonso, from Villa Clara, technical chief of the work, said that the execution of the road must conclude in the first week of September and that its progress made it possible to assign other tasks to the builders of the provinces of Granma and Las Tunas that worked in the diversion.
These have been month very demanding work months, ten and up to 12 hours per day and permanent risk to the builders, due to the rugged soil. We started in November breaking up the hills to open the trail. Then came the formation of the embankment, first in the lower part and finally in the sea terraces excavated with explosives, said the villagers Diosdado Machado Rodríguez and Pablo Ruiz Pérez, members of the Leoncio Vidal Claro Brigade, pertaining to the Ecoing construction Company 25.
The Yumurí-Jobo Claro road is eight meters wide, of which six are paved, and are also made up of seven factory works.
