📋 Tender Overview
The rehabilitation of route PY05, in the Pozo Colorado -Concepcion section, continues in its two lots with extended hours to benefit more than 400,000 inhabitants of the north of the country. The actions focus on the formation of the structural package of the future rigid pavement, an alternative that aims to mark a before and after in the national road infrastructure. In Lot A, between km 318.9 and km 372.2, the Avanza Chaco Consortium has maintained a continuous rhythm since the start of the tasks in May 2025. In recent months, the interventions were aimed at the execution of the different layers that make up the structure of the road. Among the main tasks are the placement of concrete slabs with fibers on the road and shoulders, along with the application of curing irrigation to ensure the quality of the material. Likewise, progress was made in the formation of granular subbases--both recycled and new--stabilized with cement, in addition to the conditioning of the subgrade through the reprocessing of existing gravel and the contribution of virgin material in the necessary sectors. Also notable is the installation of non-woven geotextile under the slabs, a component that improves structural performance. Currently, a section of nearly 1.7 kilometers is being intervened on half a road with a shoulder, reaching a width of 4.50 meters. The days take place in day and night shifts to maintain the planned dynamics. Active fronts in Lot B Regarding Lot B, which covers from km 372.2 to km 409.1, the firm Ecomipa S.A. It deploys work in different stages of the construction process, with several fronts in execution. The tasks include unclassified and pocket excavations, essential for the adaptation of the platform, as well as lateral filling with gravel. In parallel, progress is being made in the structural layers, replicating the typology of the other sector: reprocessed and virgin gravel subgrades, granular subbases stabilized with cement and the incorporation of geotextile. One of the most relevant components is the construction of concrete slabs with fibers on the road and shoulders, complemented by curing irrigation to guarantee their resistance. To date, nearly 2.4 kilometers of rigid pavement have been executed on a complete roadway, with a total width of 9 meters, distributed in two lanes and shoulders on both sides. As in the previous section, the work is carried out both day and night. Boost to regional connectivity This initiative, divided into two lots, is positioned as one of the most relevant interventions in terms of infrastructure in the north of the country. The adoption of rigid pavement not only seeks to increase the useful life of the road, but also to improve circulation conditions in a strategic corridor for the movement of people and goods. With an investment that exceeds 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 venture aims to strengthen territorial integration and boost the regional economy.
