Truck Lines Stretch Over 20 km on PY02 in Ciudad del Este

Traffic Compromised Between km 26 and City Center Due to Waits at Customs Terminal
Loaded trucks carrying soy, wheat, and other goods destined for Brazil form queues exceeding 20 km on the PY02 highway, between km 26 (Minga Guazú) and the city center of Ciudad del Este. The congestion persists in October 2026, despite complaints about the exclusivity granted to the private terminal Algesa.
- The queues begin around km 26 in Minga Guazú and extend to the city center, with a break between km 12 and 5, possibly due to work on the viaduct at km 10.
- Vehicles wait to complete customs procedures at the private Algesa terminal, located at km 12.5 on the same highway, which is the only facility authorized for goods clearance.
- The concentration of trucks occupies the shoulders and part of the lane, hindering the circulation of cars, motorcycles, and pedestrians, especially at night and in rainy conditions.
- National authorities have yet to implement measures to increase the number of private terminals or organize the flow of incoming transporters, maintaining the risk situation on public roads.
