📋 Tender Overview
A strategic investment advances on Costanera Avenue in Asuncion, where the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) initiated the underground work of the 220 kV 220 kV electric transmission line in its most urban section, with the aim of improving security, modernizing infrastructure and releasing space for future social developments. The first tasks are developed in the Jose Asuncion Flores Avenue collector and point to the underground installation of more than 2.7 kilometers of high voltage wiring, which will allow to remove existing aerial cables, improving the urban landscape. This intervention is key to the development of the future Eco-even district, which foresees the construction of homes and equipment for some 700 vulnerable families of the Chacarita, in a safer and more orderly environment. The contract was awarded to the Tocsa-Tecnoedil Consortium, for an amount of G. 67,091 million, with financing from the World Bank. The control is in charge of the National Electricity Administration (ANDE) and the general supervision corresponds to the MOPC. Traffic Management Plan In the works zone, measures will be implemented to minimize the impact on traffic during the 12 months planned for the execution of the project. Among them is a Transit Management Plan, prepared in coordination with the Municipality of Asuncion, which will be disseminated in a timely manner with the aim of guaranteeing safe circulation for pedestrians and conductors. The initiative is part of the joint commitment between the MOPC and the ANDE to build a more resilient, modern and safe assumption, with infrastructure that responds to the challenges of the present and the future.
