Paraguay is planning work on a road that will run for much of its length along the country’s border with Brazil. Official authorisation has been given for the construction work, named the PY17 project.

The route runs from Pedro Juan Caballero in Amambay Department to Ypejhu in Canendiyú department. The 200km road connection also runs through Capitan Bado in Amambay Department and Itanara in Canendiyú department.

The work is expected to cost US$220 million. A time frame for the project setting out the tendering process, contract award dates, commencement of works and completion targets has yet to be announced.
