Paraguay's Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC) informed that temporary detours on Silvio Pettirossi Avenue, between Elizardo Aquino and Ñu Guasu avenues, remain in effect for the construction of the foundation heads of the viaduct for the Las Residentas road corridor. The measure, expected to last about ten days, alters traffic in both directions and requires increased driver attention.
Patrulla Caminera
Cuerpo de inspección de tránsito en Paraguay.
Between May 10 and 16, the National Highway Patrol Directorate carried out 616 control and inspection procedures on highways across Paraguay, resulting in the removal of 118 drivers for serious infractions, including 17 for drunk driving and 72 for prohibited overtaking. There were 26 traffic accidents, half with injuries.
Vehicle movement increased significantly this Sunday on Route PY02, especially at the Ypacaraí toll booth, with a large flow of travelers returning to Asunción and cities in the Central Department. The Highway Patrol reports that, despite queues, traffic is steady and there are no major blockages.
The return to the metropolitan area of Asunción occurs without congestion on the Luque-San Bernardino route, with three toll booths open for entry into Ecovía and stable vehicle flow.
With the end of the extended holiday, the Patrol Caminera reinforces inspection on highways and asks drivers for caution.
