Km 10 Overpass in Ciudad del Este reaches 57% completion

Advances in paving and structure

The pavement of the traffic-detour roads has 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 overpasses are already installed. The south overpass completed the placement of pre-slabs and concreting of the deck slab. Concrete work on the New Jersey-type side barrier is underway, and the placement of pre-slabs on the north overpass continues for later deck concreting.

Next steps

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

The project envisions four lanes on the overpass 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 Detour Plan is in phase 5, with route PY02 blocked in the work zone and vehicle flow channeled through the opened collector roads.
