In an inspection of the infrastructure of the work in December 2025, failures, fissures and cracks in the asphalt layer (runway), repairs of fissures and/or cracks with sealing of the same material were evident and, at the same time, the contractor continued to carry out interventions to restore the runway.
Additionally, on the surface of the ditches, which are cement channels located on the side of the road for storm drainage, deficiencies such as cracks and recent repairs made with asphalt material were also found. Openings in the joints of the structures and collapsed traffic signs were also found.
The control commission observed cracks in the concrete pavement of a speed bump (road pass), where the surface had a layer of a different color, which demonstrated the repair interventions after its execution, cracks in sardines, detachments from the plastering and a retaining wall without the same thickness in its extension, leaving it as an incomplete structure.
