Itaipu Binacional finances road infrastructure work in Alto Paraná, Paraguay
The duplication of Route PY07 in Hernandarias, Paraguay, will involve an estimated investment of between USD 80 million and USD 100 million, covering approximately 19.5 kilometers. The project is driven by Itaipu Binacional and aims to improve the region's road connection with the Eastern Metropolitan Corridor.
The work will extend from the Tekotopa Environmental Center to Santa Fe del Paraná, north of the Tatí Yupí Natural Reserve. According to the schedule, about 18 kilometers will be duplicated by constructing a second lane, with both directions separated by a central median.
Itaipu Binacional initially set aside USD 80 million for the initiative. The Paraguayan director of the entity highlighted that this is one of the main road infrastructure projects planned for Hernandarias.
The project also includes the installation of LED lighting along the stretch and specific solutions for the urban sector. The studies and executive designs are under the responsibility of the Itaipu-Paraguay Technology Park (PTI-PY), a process that began the previous year and advanced further on July 21, when the order to start work was issued to the consortium responsible for the technical tasks.
According to the presented timeline, the urban segment studies are expected to be completed between February and March 2027. With those results, construction is slated to begin between July and August 2027.
