With wires and barricades the road section known as the Y del Salto-Muisne-Chamanga was closed.
The road blockade was done by the residents of 54 communities in the south of the Esmeraldas province.
On the night of Tuesday 16 this road was closed, being the third section to be blocked on the E15 Muisne-Chamanga highway by the residents who have held a protest since Monday 15.
The community members take this measure of closing road sections to demand improvements from the Prefecture of Esmeraldas in nine neighborhood roads.

Governor Tania Obando offered a meeting in the territory for the afternoon of this Wednesday 17 and awaits the presence of the prefect Roberta Zambrano.
One of the requests of the provincial authority is the management of the Ministry of the Environment and Waters of the permission to extract stone material from a mine in San Gregorio, to repair the neighboring roads.
The closure of roads affects the 43 kilometers from the Y del Salto to Chamanga and the 12 kilometers to the island city of Muisne.
And a few minutes ago, the protesters also closed the passage in Galera and Tonchigüe, in Atacames.
These blockades affect the mobility of citizens and the burden of the San Gregorio, Daule, Salima, San José de Chamanga and San Francisco del Cabo parishes.
Mariela Bone, a traveler, commented that she paid $ 5 for the transfer by taximoto from Muisne to the stoppage.
On motorcycles they are charged $ 2, said another user.
If there is no response from the Provincial Government or Prefecture, the closure would extend to the Bunche area, warned Iver Quiñónez, provincial president of the Conagopare.
Policemen and Marines guard the protest points where the leaders remain in a peaceful manner.

Even officials from the Atacames-Muisne Ministry of Health ask the leaders or those who lead this strike to allow the passage of ambulances and health personnel.
These roadblocks also generate delays in the vaccination plan against COVID-19. (I)
