📋 Tender Overview
The rehabilitation of route PY05 in the Pozo Colorado-Concepcion section is advancing steadily on its two work fronts. There are more than 90 kilometers that will become the first national route with rigid pavement in Paraguay, marking a milestone in the modernization of the countrys road infrastructure. In Lot A, which extends from km 318,920 to km 372,260, the contractor Consorcio Avanza Chaco maintains sustained development of the initial activities planned in the schedule. Among the works carried out, unclassified excavations, the opening and cleaning of drainage ditches, lateral filling with gravel and soil-lime, as well as the demolition of tubular sewer heads and the cleaning of existing structures stand out. During September, the maintenance tasks of auxiliary roads and slope intervention were reinforced, guaranteeing access and safe circulation of equipment and personnel along the section. Clearing and general cleaning of the work area was also carried out, leaving the land ready for the following construction stages, which will include the preparation of the subgrade and the stabilized base to subsequently extend the rigid pavement. Advances on the Eastern Front Lot B, between km 372,260 and km 409,118, managed by the company Ecomipa S.A., also registers constant progress. During the month of September, maintenance work was carried out on auxiliary roads, ensuring the passability and logistics of the work for the transfer of materials and machinery. On this front, slope stabilization and conditioning work was also carried out, essential for the safety and durability of the future road platform. One of the recent works was the beginning of the excavation of pockets, an activity that allows replacing inadequate materials in the subgrade with soils with greater support capacity, thus guaranteeing the structural quality of the rigid pavement that will be placed in the next phases. A key work With this sustained progress in both lots, the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) advances in its goal of transforming National Route PY05 into a modern, safe and durable road corridor, which will strengthen the integration of northern Paraguay, improve regional competitiveness and directly benefit thousands of families along its route. The initiative represents a total investment of G. 611,196 million, financed by the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF) and the Financial Fund for the Development of the Countries of the La Plata Basin (Fonplata). Each lot has an execution period of 20 months and is part of the national strategy to strengthen the primary road network in the north, a region with high productive potential. Date: October 8, 2025
