en.Wedoany.com Reported - The closure work for the Bioceánica Bridge, which spans the Paraguay River, has commenced, with project progress on schedule. This bridge connects Porto Murtinho in Brazil with Carmelo Peralta in Paraguay and the newly constructed PY15 highway, at a project cost of $101 million.

The bridge will improve transportation links between Paraguay and neighboring Brazil, while also serving as a key component of an important bi-oceanic corridor with broader significance for Latin America. This 2,400-kilometer route will traverse Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, and Chile, connecting the Pacific and Atlantic coasts across the South American continent.

The bridge is being built by the Binational Consortium PY-BRA, which includes Tecnoedil Constructora, Cidade Ltda, and Paulitec Construções. Project financing is provided by Itaipu Binacional.

Meanwhile, pile foundation work is underway for a 4-kilometer-long elevated highway section in the Luque area of Paraguay. This PPP project will construct a two-lane road in each direction, connecting the Ñu Guasu and Silvio Pettirossi highways with Luque and San Bernardino. Construction is being carried out by the Rutas del Este consortium.

Additionally, pile foundation work has also started for the second bridge over the Monday River in Alto Paraná Department. This 500-meter-long bridge will become part of the Eastern Metropolitan Corridor.
