Paraguay has confirmed that contractorsd 1305 Odebrecht Latinvest Espana and IECSA are no longer interested in routes II and VII Ypacarai-Pastoreo road expansion work.

Ministry of Public Works announced the withdrawal of the two groups from the public-private partnership works programme that is expected to cost around US$395 million, according to media reports.

How, the ministry said six companies met with officials to discuss details of the work and another two companies - Tradeco Infraestructuras and Construcciones y Administraciones – have said that they will meet soon with the ministry.

The tender is expected to be open by the end of June.

The tendering process has been delayed four times although 11 firms have been pre-qualified and six had expressed an interest in going forward to the tender phase of this, Paraguay’s infrastructure sector. Road toll tariffs will have a bearing on the ministry’s final decision on which firm will win the work.
