Among the projects is the rehabilitation of 73km of the Villeta-Alberdi highway, which will require an investment of US$46 million with financing coming from Latin American Development Bank CAF.

CAF will also provide financing for the $38 million rehabilitation of the Estigarribai-Infante Rivarola route, which will help connect Paraguay in order to have access to the Pacific coast.

MOPC also aims to tender the rehabilitation of Laguna Grande - capital Asunción's east access road - with a budget of $29 million, and the 6.5km Remanso-Limpio detour bridge, which has an estimated budget of $3 million. Both will be financed through sovereign bonds.

Finally, MOPC aims to tender the construction of an overpass in Asunción for the Chaco and Madame Lynch intersection, which is frequently congested with traffic.
