The base of it is ready while the assembly of the advance cars continues.Yesterday also concluded the concreting of voussoir 0 on the right bank Chacoi side so construction of the 600-meter cable-stayed structure over the Paraguay River will begin shortly.It should be noted that in this work two pairs of advance or rolling cars will be used which are metal structures manufactured especially for this bridge being one of the widest in the world with 32 meters and a length of 6 meters each voussoir. Its weight is 200 tons of steel each and a total of 99 voussoirs will be built.The idea -according to comments from ConstruGomes which is collaborating with the Union Consortium- is to advance 12 meters of deck in the two pairs of cars every two weeks.The Hroes del Chaco Bridge will join the Costanera Norte with the Falcn-Remanso route through a 7 km road -including viaducts and accesses- thus connecting Paraguay with the world.More than 600 people currently work in this enterprise. The vast majority come from neighboring districts such as Nueva Asuncin formerly Chaco i Vila Hayes Jos Falcn Nanawa as well as Mariano Roque Alonso Limpio and Asuncin.
