📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) reports that, starting this Saturday, July 11, new work fronts will be enabled in adjacent streets and a section of General Elizardo Aquino Avenue, in Luque. In order to facilitate the progress of tasks and guarantee road safety, provisional vehicular circulation schemes will be implemented in the affected sectors. One of the fronts will be located on Lapacho Street, which will remain closed for approximately 15 days at its intersection with General Elizardo Aquino Avenue, due to the construction of transversal sinkholes. During this period, traffic on the main avenue will remain enabled. While the work lasts, subject to weather conditions, residents will be able to enter and leave the area through Alas Paraguayas and Canada del Carmen streets. Other points intervened In parallel, another work front will be enabled on General Elizardo Aquino Avenue, in the section between Felipe Gonzalez Street and the Silvio Pettirossi School, where it will be necessary to temporarily close the Luque exit lane. Vehicles entering the city will be diverted along the right shoulder until they pass the intervention area, after which they will resume their usual route. Meanwhile, those leaving Luque will temporarily use the entry lane to cross the work zone and then return to the corresponding lane. The Highway Patrol will accompany both operations to organize traffic and guarantee the safety of drivers, pedestrians and workers. The MOPC recommends driving with caution, reducing speed in work zones, respecting the installed signage and following the instructions of the flaggers. Access modernization The improvements are part of the comprehensive plan to modernize access to the capital, which seeks to optimize connectivity between the municipalities of the metropolitan area and contribute to solving the historical bottlenecks in the vicinity of the Silvio Pettirossi International Airport. The work is carried out by Benito Roggio e Hijos S.A., with financing from the Itaipu-Paraguay Technology Park Foundation and under the supervision of the MOPC. For questions or more information about the development of the work, the citizen service line 0985 203 381 is enabled. Date: July 9, 2026
