📋 Tender Overview
From the banks of the Monday River, in Alto Parana, the Minister of Public Works and Communications, Eng. Claudia Centurion, verified this Thursday the progress of the new bridge, which will be the highest in the country and which is part of the Eastern Metropolitan Corridor (CMDE). The structure - which registers 23% completion - will be one of the main logistical connections in the country. During the visit, the minister highlighted the relevance of this infrastructure to strengthen the national road network, pointing out: We are seeing the driving of the first piles where one of the main piers of the bridge will be raised, which will connect us with the entire logistics system linked to the Integration Bridge. The head of the MOPC stressed that the works are carried out by Paraguayan companies, with the participation of national engineers, and reaffirmed the institutional commitment to move forward quickly. The entire MOPC team is committed to ensuring that this bridge is put at the service of the people as soon as possible, he assured. Feminine strength in national engineering Likewise, the Secretary of State highlighted the presence of women in the technical and construction teams, underlining their contribution to the development of the country. I hope you see the feminine strength that exists in this great work. Paraguayan women all work to build our country, and I am really proud to see them with so much commitment, she stated. About 100 people are currently working directly on the project, contributing their efforts and professionalism to the development and connectivity of the entire east of the country. Connectivity and regional development The bridge over the Monday River will be a key piece of the CMDE, connecting Presidente Franco with Minga Guazu and allowing, when integrated with the Integration Bridge, the road system to enable a logistics hub of national scope. With this bridge we are going to generate better conditions for our cargo and exports, said Centurion. The structure, 500 meters long and with four lanes, is integrated into the 31 kilometers of the CMDE rural route. The work is carried out by the Puente Monday Consortium (Constructora Heisecke S.A. and Construpar S.A.). Date: October 30, 2025
