Newspaper TODAY | Work on strategic 24-meter bridge in Capiatá concludes
The Public Works portfolio reported that the new footbridge allows the physical union of 4 important companies from the Capiatá district, benefiting 50,000 inhabitants.
The work will allow the residents of Loma Barrero, Yataity, Rojas Cañada and Toledo Cañada to move more quickly and access shopping centers, hospitals, schools, etc. more quickly.
The bridge has two traffic lanes and becomes an alternative to route PY01 or PY02, since it greatly facilitates the internal interconnection of the aforementioned companies. In turn, it decompresses the well-known and very busy traffic light crossing of the old Route 1, known as Thompson Crossing.
