    This technical project focuses on the geometric design of a road alternative to access the powerhouse of the Ocaña II Hydroelectric Project, located on the left bank of the Cañar River, starting from the Zhucay community, in compliance with the design criteria required by ELECAUSTRO S.A. Currently, the access design is proposed along the right bank. This study compares both options from a technical perspective and analyzes construction costs. Preliminary field studies, geological reviews, road geometric design, budget estimation, and construction schedule development were conducted. These approaches allowed the identification of differences between both alternatives, considering the terrain's topography and the existing paths on the left bank. It was demonstrated that the new road alternative, although requiring greater rock excavation and the construction of retaining walls along the riverbank in sections of the road axis, results in a cost savings of 43.85% and a reduction in construction time by 27 days compared to the current design, which involves building a new bridge at the end of its route to cross to the left bank where the powerhouse is located.
