📋 Tender Overview
President Santiago Pena and Minister Claudia Centurion today inaugurated a key work for the connection of the export corridor with Puerto Dos Fronteras, benefiting more than 37,000 inhabitants of Major Otano and Carlos Antonio Lopez, in the department of Itapua. This was a long -desired work, a dream for the community, and today seeing it becomes a reality excites. But we are not satisfied: we want to do much more. We will continue to invest in road infrastructure, because we know that this is what brings progress for this area of the country, said President Pena, highlighting the social and economic impact of the new corridor. This is the asphalt paving of access to ports of the export corridor of the Eastern region - Lot 2: Route Py07 - Major Otano - Puerto Otano - Carlos Antonio Lopez - Puerto Dos Fronteras. This strategic connection not only promotes territorial integration in one of the most productive areas in the country, but also leaves years of isolation behind. Works that connect people and production Minister Claudia Centurion highlighted the strategic value of this intervention executed by a Paraguayan company: It is a magnificent work, which cuts hills and reaches a beautiful place: the two borders port, where there are also the military detachment and the migration and customs area. More infrastructure like this allows us to connect the country through the hydrovy, by land and take benefits to the production of the department. The new access also allows the population to reach more quickly to educational centers, health and other essential services, while for local producers, it means reducing logistics costs and optimizing the transport of goods such as soybeans, corn, wheat, matte and citrus yerba. During its construction, the work generated about 120 direct jobs, energizing the local economy. Major Otano, known as the Capital of Orange and the Yerba Mate, has 17,000 inhabitants, while Carlos Antonio Lopez has about 20,000. With this path of all time, both locations leave behind isolation. Strategic connectivity for production The new route covers 17,15 kilometers divided into two sections: section A, 12,164 km, connects Frutika with port two borders; and section B, 4,986 km, links Carlos Antonio Lopezs roundabout with greater Otano. Both segments were executed by the company MM.S.A. And they are already enabled, as part of the MOPC plan to strengthen the countrys logistics corridors. Date: May 13, 2025
