Шаблон:Infobox bridge

The Héroes del Chaco Bridge (Шаблон:Lang-es) is a cable-stayed bridge in Paraguay that connects the city of Asunción and Nueva Asunción.[1] It crossess the Paraguay River in order to unify the Paraguayan eastern and western regions. It was built to help decongest the Remanso Bridge, located eight km upstream. It will be the only large-span bridge in the capital, and the first to link it with the Western Region. It was officially inaugurated by President Santiago Peña on March 3, 2024.[2]

Etymology

Its name is a tribute to the combatants of the Chaco War and was selected through a citizen participation process. The symbolic act of laying the foundation stone took place on 12 June 2020, a date that commemorated the 85th anniversary of the Peace of Chaco, a protocol that ended this war between Bolivia and Paraguay.

History

In December 2019, construction for the Héroes del Chaco Bridge was awarded to the Unión Consortium, made up of the companies CDD Construcciones S.A. and Constructora Heisecke S.A.[3] The groundbreaking ceremony for the work took place on 12 June 2020, on the 85th anniversary of the signing of the Peace of Chaco.

The bridge will have a total extension of 7,409 meters, starting from the Costanera de Asunción roundabout to the Nueva Asunción zone, which in turn will connect with Route PY09. It includes the road section of 4,800 meters and the structure section of 2,609 meters (600 meters of cable stays and 2,009 meters of viaduct). The estimated execution period is 36 months.[4][5]

Along with the Nanawa Bridge in Concepción and the Remanso Bridge in Mariano Roque Alonso, they are the only bridges that connect the two regions of Paraguay.
