Improvements to Access Roads to the Friendship Bridge in Ciudad del Este

The Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) performed patching work on the PY-02 route, specifically in the primary zone and the approach to the Friendship Bridge, in Alto Paraná, Paraguay. The interventions were carried out at night, from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m., by teams from the Minga Guazú Asphalt Plant, with the goal of improving traffic conditions at this important commercial connection point between Paraguay and Brazil.

Access to the Friendship Bridge concentrates a significant flow of vehicles involved in commercial, logistics, and service activities, making it essential to the economic dynamics of Ciudad del Este and the surrounding region. The road infrastructure improvement seeks to reduce delays, facilitate the movement of trucks and other vehicles, and increase the predictability of cross-border transfers.

During the shift, most of the planned repairs were completed, and the MOPC reported that work will continue until all identified potholes are eliminated, keeping the corridor as one of the main entry and exit points of the country.
