📋 Tender Overview
The construction of Paraguays first concrete road continues to make progress in the section that connects Pozo Colorado with Concepcion. At the end of the first half of June, the works already exceed 14 kilometers of rigid pavement executed between both lots, consolidating the progress of this strategic project that will benefit more than 400,000 inhabitants in the north of the country. The work is carried out simultaneously on the two work fronts enabled on the PY05 route, incorporating day and night shifts to maintain the planned pace of execution on this 90-kilometer road that will strengthen connectivity and accompany the productive growth of the region. Construction of new pavement progresses In addition to the placement of concrete, the work includes a series of fundamental tasks to guarantee the resistance and durability of the future route. These include the preparation of the land, the strengthening of the base that will support the road and the construction of drainage systems that will allow adequate evacuation of rainwater. These interventions are essential to ensure a safer infrastructure prepared to support the constant traffic of light vehicles and cargo that circulate through this strategic corridor. In Lot A, in charge of the Avanza Chaco Consortium, the work focused on the execution of concrete pavement on the road and shoulders, in addition to the construction of sewers, drainage headers and other complementary works. To date, approximately 8.76 kilometers of rigid pavement have already been built. For its part, in Lot B, executed by the firm Ecomipa S.A., the work related to the formation of the road structure, the placement of concrete and the drainage works continue. In this sector, nearly 6.06 kilometers of rigid pavement have already been reached. A work that will transform regional connectivity The new PY05 is positioned as one of the most important road interventions currently underway in the north of the country. Once completed, it will improve circulation conditions for the transportation of people and goods, strengthening integration between the Chaco and the Eastern Region. Likewise, the use of concrete pavement will allow for an infrastructure with greater resistance and useful life, especially in a corridor that registers an important movement of loads linked to agricultural production and other economic activities in the area. With an investment of more than G. 611,000 million, financed by the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF) and the Financial Fund for the Development of the Countries of the La Plata Basin (Fonplata), the project aims to consolidate a modern infrastructure capable of accompanying the productive and social development of the entire northern Paraguay.
