📋 Tender Overview
As part of the plan to improve and maintain overpasses, work will begin on Tuesday in the Semidei tunnel, located at the entrance to Asuncion. With the support of the Municipal Traffic Police (PMT), the aim is to ensure traffic order in an area of high traffic complexity due to the intense traffic flow. The work, which will begin at 09:00, includes cleaning manholes and storm drains, as well as unblocking storm drains.
The work will be carried out on one road at a time, first closing one side and then enabling it to work on the other. The PMT is responsible for properly marking the construction area from about 500 meters before the point of intervention and directing traffic to avoid major congestion. A survey of the tunnels electrical system will also be carried out to verify the state of the wiring and lighting fixtures. Depending on the conditions found, the project will be repaired or replaced immediately, ensuring optimal visibility and safe conditions for drivers.
This project, carried out by the company TECO S.R.L., is part of a contract awarded by the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) with an investment of G. 20,000,000,000. The work on the Semidei tunnel is added to those already started on the Nu Guasu viaduct and the Itapua tunnel, as part of a broader plan that includes the development of a total of 15 overpasses. Among the other structures contemplated in the project are the Madame Lynch roundabout and viaduct (Superviaducto), the Comando del Ejercito - Ex Caballeria viaduct, the Santa Teresa viaduct, the Mariscal Lopez viaduct, the Fernando de la Mora viaduct, the Tres Bocas tunnel, among others. These works seek to guarantee the safety and fluidity of traffic at strategic points on the national road network.
