📋 Tender Overview
Lot 1 of the Bioceanic Road Corridor advances with rigid pavement works and drainage works, directly benefiting some 41,000 people in the Paraguayan Chaco. The execution also generates more than 225 direct and indirect jobs, boosting the local economy and promoting labor inclusion in the town of Mariscal Estigarribia. According to Engineer Alberto Lopez, a member of the technical team, current tasks focus on the placement of cement soil, the base on which the rigid pavement is built, accompanied by curbs, gutters and culverts. We are making the cement floor part and on top of that the rigid pavement, with all the drainage works, curbs, gutters and sewers, he explained. The professional explained that this phase includes two main sections: a road 3,100 meters long and 7 meters wide, and a collector street of 1,200 meters, also 7 meters, which will include sidewalks and complementary works to reinforce connectivity and pedestrian safety. Approximately 100 people are currently working on the construction site in the urban area, he added. The work is carried out in a coordinated manner to sustain the pace of progress and comply with the established technical and environmental standards, thus guaranteeing the durability and functionality of the infrastructure. Connectivity for the development of Chaco Lot 1, which covers 53.8 kilometers between km 102.5 and 156 of route PY15 in the department of Boqueron, is part of Section 3 of the 224-kilometer Bioceanic Road Corridor, divided into four lots. The works are in charge of the Pacific Consortium, made up of EDB Construcciones, with an investment of G. 485,505,296,685, financed by the Fonplata Development Bank and supervised by the MOPC. This infrastructure connects strategic points such as Mariscal Jose Felix Estigarribia and Pozo Hondo, consolidating Paraguay as a regional logistics axis. Its development promotes integration with neighboring countries and promotes the economic and social growth of the Paraguayan Chaco, a region historically neglected in terms of road connectivity.
