During the decades of the pseudo-republic, traveling from the first villa of Cuba Baracoa to Maisí, the most oriental Cuba's territories C & # 39; was a real odyssey, the stories of residents of the region pick up the many deaths caused by the lack of means of transportation to help the sick and the difficulties of traveling on foot or horseback for to go from one village to the other.
Revolution in power, the first steps are taken to allow access between Baracoa and Maisí, but it is only in the 80s of the last century that a detour is made to improve the one existing in the area known as La Boruga.
It was then that he widened, paved and built defense walls in the curvilinear stretch of just over 4 kilometers, allowing the pbadage of vehicles. But because of its dangerous slopes and its curvilinear path through which to travel, the fear of travelers to pbad the Boruga continued the same thing.
The devastating pbadage of Hurricane Matthew in October 2016, and its wake of millionaire losses reaffirm the impossibility of effecting in this way the transfer of large volumes of resources and heavy equipment, necessary for the recovery of Maisí municipality.
The maximum direction of the country then approves the construction of a new road that leaves behind the difficulties present at La Boruga, and the fear for those who pbaded between Baracoa and Maisí.
A few days after Matthew, the constructive actions of a new section of the bridge from the coastal town of Yumurí to Jobo Claro in Maisí began, a project that left behind the danger of traveling by La Boruga [19659003Theroadwouldmovethroughatotallywoodedareawithanextremelyruggedtopographyandageologicalformationoflimestonethekarsticrocksknownasthedog'stoothhavingtosavefourgreatelevationsconstitutedbythesystemofterracesofMaisíenjoyingacourseofabout300meters
Surveyors, project specialists and highway builders and several companies of the country participated in the execution of the section that borders the mountain range with slopes of 12 to 14 percent and curves horizontal that meet the parameters and standards established for mountain roads, and allows the safe transit of vehicle type
A technical summary of the execution of the current road indicates that its construction required 39 excavation with an explosive 1.49 km of rock with a volume of 264 thousand 110.0 cubic meters. As well as paving with hydraulic concrete of almost two kilometers.
Due to the magnitude of the work done and the short time it was carried out, the union status of Proeza Laboral was handed over to its protagonists. The completion of the road has many advantages in the social economic order, for example the possibility of a new road between the capital of the country and Maisi by Yutong bus
and if these reasons are not enough, the satisfaction of being able to get to the most eastern tip of Cuba, with a stop at the new tourist lookout tower built in Punta de Silencio, and enjoy the unique geography of one of the most beautiful regions of the island.
