Paraguay - HighwaysParaguay - Highways
Overview
Much of Paraguay’s road network that moves goods inland is unpaved, and paved arteries are in need of upgrades. The Paraguayan government is working to improve the roads throughout the country, with an aim to create better connectivity within the country and to major transportation arteries in Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil. Projects may be financed directly by the government or executed under the Public-Private Partnership law.Sub-Sector Best Prospects
Paraguayan road building firms do not have the capacity to execute all planned projects, creating opportunities for U.S. road construction and engineering services. Other opportunities include the sale of road building machinery, project management consulting, operations of highway concessions, and financial services.Opportunities
The government advertises tenders on the Ministry of Public Work’s website and the government’s public contracting office website. Under Paraguay’s Public-Private Partnership law, firms may also propose unsolicited projects.Web Resources
