📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC), together with a technical delegation from the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF), carried out a monitoring mission in the Eastern Metropolitan Corridor (CMDE), with the objective of evaluating the progress of the works linked to access to the second bridge over the Parana River. During the day, authorities and specialists from both institutions verified compliance with the physical and financial schedules on the different work fronts. The inspection covered this road and logistics system that aims to strategically strengthen border connectivity in the department of Alto Parana. The delegation toured the structures of the new bridge over the Monday River and the work on the rural accesses corresponding to lots 1 and 2. These interventions will link the towns of Presidente Franco, Cedrales and Minga Guazu with the national road network, facilitating transit and improving the circulation of cargo transportation. Operational and logistics infrastructure In addition to the works in progress, the mission included the survey of already completed facilities. Within this framework, the representatives visited the Primary Zone and the Cargo Terminal, components that are operational and fully integrated into the project scheme. This type of field verification allows physical progress to be contrasted with the quality standards required by the financing body, ensuring compliance with the technical, social and environmental criteria established in the agreements. The activity had the participation of the Highway Department, the Project Execution Unit and the General Directorate of Socio-Environmental Management of the MOPC. On behalf of the CAF, technical infrastructure and monitoring teams participated, as well as representatives of the contracting companies in charge of each lot. Date: April 17, 2026
