Portuguese engineering and infrastrucure firm Mota-Engil and the Paraguayan company Concret Mix were the soul bidders for a turn-key contract to repair and upgrade Paraguay’s Route 9 Transchaco.
The national highway project, costing nearly US$500 million covers around 530km. The Transchaco starts in Asunción – Paraguay’s capital and largest city - and ends at the border with Bolivia, traversing 835km.
Work includes widening by a metre the 6m-wide highway that crosses the semi-arid Paraguayan Chaco, one of South America’s most thinly populated regions.
