Finally, it is concluded that the environmental liabilities are left by the Longitudinal Avenue of the West must be internalized in the costs of execution and maintenance of the project, because the negative environmental impacts, maintain residual characteristics and require continuous intervention and investment measures equivalent to the period in which the effects of the impact are maintained, that is, permanently..
