Abstract

The man by nature feels the need to be moving constantly from one place to another in order to overcome the distance that separates it from its wishes, needs or obligations. These trips can be made from walks up using vehicles motorized and non-motorized. The most important challenge for a nation, is able to provide communication effectively between the various important points that are within the territory that forms that nation, for this, implement new methodologies for the development of the road infrastructure is increasing and increasingly are applications that countries "third world" copied from developed countries and that have optimal mobility systems and/or transit, appropriate streets and roads that allow them to communicate important points that help with the local economic growth. In the cities, the good development of the road infrastructure and the mobility, allows for better quality of life for its inhabitants, which means a challenge for the local administration, which must be a step forward in the solution of problems that arise from having a management bad in terms of infrastructure and mobility. For Cali, the challenge is of greater impact, since the mobility is a vacuum on the road to social improvement of the city. Thanks to the good management in the development of the road infrastructure and mobility have been given positive changes as the decongestion of the Avenida Colombia by means of the construction of the Tunnel globalist, which allows the improvement of the mobility in this sector. In its beginnings, it was estimated that each hour would transit five thousand vehicles per hour. However the traffic flow is greater, according to Cesar Guerrero, coordinator of the Monitoring Center of the tunnel. Thanks to this, the pollution that before produced the number of vehicles that before there were passing decreased and this is allowing an improvement in the quality of the sector, which is being used for cultural activities. This work will aim to give to know how they have been changes thanks to the intervention that was done in the Avenida Colombia with the construction of the tunnel, improvements in mobility and the perception of the users with respect to this.
