Paraguay set to tender US$180mn bridge

The bidding documents for a contract to build a cable-stayed bridge connecting Paraguay's capital Asunción and the district of Chaco'i have been submitted to the procurement system (DNCP) and a tender for the US$180mn project will be launched shortly, public works minister Arnoldo Wiens said in a statement.

During a meeting with President Mario Abdo, the public works ministry outlined US$2bn in ongoing and planned projects for the capital and the surrounding area, of which US$669mn is for road infrastructure, the ministry said.

Another US$698mn is for water projects and US$670mn for transport systems including ferries, new buses and the planned Asunción tram.

The feasibility study for the bridge was carried out by a consortium compromising Spanish firm Acciona and local company Electroconsult del Paraguay.

The bridge, over the Paraguay river, will be 449m long and the work involves another 2km in access roads, according to Acciona.

According to MOPC, the project will be financed through sovereign bonds and a loan from IDB.
