Km 10 Viaduct in Ciudad del Este reaches 57% completion

Advances in paving and structure

The pavement of the traffic-detour roads has already been completed in the Acaray (north) and Monday (south) neighborhoods, with only horizontal and vertical signage remaining. Avenue Km 10 Acaray received its final asphalt layer, while Avenue Km 10 Monday continues with stone paving.

In the main structure, the longitudinal beams of the north and south viaducts are already installed. The south viaduct completed the placement of precast slabs and the concreting of the deck slab. Concrete work on the New Jersey-type side barrier is underway, and the placement of precast slabs on the north viaduct continues for later deck concreting.

Next steps

Work on the north collector road (San Blas Avenue) and the south collector road (Monseñor Rodríguez Avenue) continues with earthmoving, drainage, and sub-base execution. Access ramps to the north and south viaducts, as well as the east-sector return, are in the earthmoving phase.

The project foresees four lanes on the viaduct and collector roads, with turn-backs and pedestrian passages. The intervention will connect kilometers 8.5 and 12 of route PY02, improving traffic flow, safety, and access to commercial, industrial, and residential zones.

Currently, the Traffic Diversion Plan is in phase 5, with route PY02 blocked in the work zone and vehicle flow channeled through the opened collector roads.
