Some locations that have been constructed according to the old scale such as taluy slopes, barriers, drainage ditches... will be accommodated, without arranging emergency stop lanes. The bridge on this section still maintains a scale of 17.5m.
For the newly built section from Km93+000 to Km123+861, the roadbed and bridge are designed to a complete scale of 22m.
