The superstructure of the pedestrian crossing bridge is intended to give safety to pedestrians and thus avoid accidents and material damage. At personal discretion, the city of Machala requires pedestrian and vehicular safety in high traffic areas. The development of this work was carried out with the aim of improving pedestrian and vehicular traffic on Avenida 25 de Junio, giving place to avoid accidents, this will benefit pedestrians and drivers, the regulations MTOP will be used for the design of roads in the country and the AASHTO LFRD for the prestressed bridge design. Currently, Avenida 25 de Junio at the height of the Paseo Shopping center has traffic lights and zebra-type pedestrian crossings, but pedestrians cross the avenue through unsafe areas causing accidents, due to this the proposal consists of designing a pedestrian crossing in Avenue. As a result, a pedestrian bridge with prestressed elements of a double Te-girder will be designed, the results of the calculations, architectural plans, structural plans and signaling will be shown.
