📋 Tender Overview
To protect wildlife along route PY21, Lot 1 of the Puerto Indio - Empalme Supercarretera road project is advancing with the construction of two subroad wildlife crossings. These structures are specifically designed so that animals can cross the road underneath, minimizing the danger of accidents and run overs on the road. These 2 x 2 meter structures have already completed the main construction and currently the work is focused on revegetation with native species, a final stage that will integrate the steps into the natural environment and allow fauna to use them safely. At the same time, signs and road safety elements are placed to protect both road users and animals in the area. Part of a national environmental protection policy The construction of wildlife crossings is part of the MOPC policies aimed at mitigating the impacts of road infrastructure, improving ecological connectivity and reducing habitat fragmentation. At the country level, there are already 77 wildlife crossings built and 26 under construction, which adds up to a total of 103 structures intended for the protection of wildlife. Planning and technical supervision are in charge of the Socio-Environmental Management Directorate (DGSA), which ensures the correct location, design and operation of each step. With the completion of the revegetation and the final touches, the PY21 wildlife crossings will be ready to fulfill their function of protecting animals and ensuring safer transit for all. Two batches in execution The paving of PY21 covers 60.3 kilometers in total and is carried out on two fronts. Lot 1, executed by Benito Roggio e Hijos S.A., includes the section from kilometer 0 to kilometer 27. Lot 2, carried out by the company LT S.A., extends from kilometer 27 to kilometer 60.3, completing the corridor that will connect Puerto Indio with the Itaipu Superhighway. Date: December 4, 2025
