📋 Tender Overview
The city of Los Cedrales, in the department of Alto Parana, will become the first in the country to have a road clover, an unprecedented infrastructure in Paraguay that is part of the Eastern Metropolitan Corridor (CMDE) and is currently in its final stage of execution. The work reaches this milestone after the total completion of the road layout on Monday Avenue and route PY07, consolidating the connection between both arteries through a system that allows continuous and safe movements, without direct crossings or traffic interruptions. The structural and road construction works are practically completed. These include the main roads, the access and exit branches, as well as the complementary civil works, essential to guarantee the integral functioning of the system and its strategic role in urban mobility and freight transportation in the region. In this final phase, the work focuses exclusively on the execution of the two final layers of asphalt that make up the road surface, a key stage to leave the infrastructure in optimal conditions and proceed to fully enable it to vehicular traffic. How does it work and why is it called clover? The interchange is called a road clover because, observed from an aerial view, its design resembles a four-leaf clover. Each of these leaves corresponds to a curved ramp that allows vehicles to make turns - especially left turns - progressively, safely and without stopping. Integration to the Eastern Metropolitan Corridor The initiative is executed as part of CMDEs rural Lot 1, one of the strategic sections of the road project that connects the area of influence of the Integration Bridge with the national road network, promoting more orderly, efficient and safe circulation. Promoted by the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC), this intervention strengthens regional connectivity by incorporating for the first time in the country an interchange of this type, optimizing vehicular flows at a key point for logistics, production and economic development in the east of the national territory.
