Strategic Projects | 14 November 2026. Paraguay's Public Works Ministry (MOPC) reported on 13 November that the road linking Mbocayaty del Yhaguy in Cordillera and San José de los Arroyos in Caaguazú has entered its final construction stage. It comprises 20.3 km of paving and approximately 1.6 km of road access to San Blas.
Investment and scope
The project is Lot 4 of MOPC tender 93/2022, ID 419394, with planned investment of about PYG 48.904 billion. Contractor ECOMIPA is delivering the road structure, asphalt, drainage, lined ditches and reinforced concrete culverts.
Productive connectivity
The route will connect with PY02 at km 103 and is intended to facilitate agricultural transport and access to services in Piray, Colonia Esperanza, Ykua Rugua and San Blas. MOPC estimates more than 25,000 beneficiaries.
Schedule
Completion is forecast for the end of 2026, but the forecast does not establish a certified opening date. Measurable benefits will depend on road accessibility, freight costs and ongoing maintenance.
Radar analysis
For small farmers currently reliant on dirt roads, the key outcome is reliable all-weather access. Before-and-after travel times, disruptions and logistics costs will be necessary to evaluate the investment.
