Bidding is opening for the bridge project intended to connect Paraguay and Brazil. The bridge will span the Paraguay River, connecting Carmelo Peralta in Paraguay with Puerto Murthino in Brazil. The project will connect Route 267 in Brazil with the Py15 route in Paraguay. However the latter is a minor road and will have to be upgraded to allow it to carry the volumes of traffic anticipated.
