The Minister of Public Works and Planning explained that "through this set of operations can be checked before commissioning of the infrastructure, which will take place in May, the safety of the bridge, demonstrating that the project and the execution of the works have been carried out satisfactorily.

Likewise, the works include the construction of new sidewalks six feet wide, and the installation of signage for vertical, horizontal and beacons, and lighting throughout the section under performance.
