The recently improved road between Manta and Montecristi spans 2.57 kilometers, addressing issues like potholes and damaged sections that hindered travel. The rehabilitation project, which came at a cost of $310,000, was carried out by EP Manabí Vial in collaboration with the local government of Montecristi as a part of their provincial road maintenance plan.

Ricardo Delgado, a local transport cooperative leader, emphasized that the improvements significantly enhance driving conditions for daily commuters, including transporters and residents of the area. This project represents a vital upgrade for a route that is frequently used. It showcases the local government's efforts to enhance infrastructure and support economic activities in the region, benefitting both the transport sector and local inhabitants.

Montecristi's mayor Jonathan Toro praised the collaborative effort between municipal and provincial authorities, highlighting the importance of effective communication in executing such infrastructure projects. The successful completion of this road improvement not only facilitates transportation but also enhances safety and accessibility for the community, demonstrating a commitment to local development and better quality of life for citizens.
