Paraguay's public works and communications ministry (MOPC) plans to begin launching tenders for five of its biggest infrastructure projects next week.
Among the projects is the rehabilitation of 73 kilometres of the Villeta-Alberdi highway, which will require an investment of US$46 million with financing coming from Latin American development bank CAF.
CAF will also provide financing for the US$38 million rehabilitation of the Estigarribai-Infante Rivarola route, which will help connect Paraguay to the Pacific coast.
MOPC also aims to tender the rehabilitation of Laguna Grande, the capital’s east access road, with a budget of US$29 million, and the 6.5 kilometre Remanso-Limpio detour bridge, which has an estimated budget of US$3 million. Both will be financed through sovereign bonds.
MOPC also aims to tender the construction of an overpass in Asunción for the Chaco and Madame Lynch intersection, which is frequently congested with traffic. The ministry has also previously said that it is preparing the regulations for its public-private-partnership law to be ready by the end of February, through which other large projects such as the Paraguay river waterway, the rehabilitation of routes 1, 2, 6 and 7 and various railway projects will be carried out.
