Héroes del Chaco Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Asunción, Paraguay
The Héroes del Chaco Bridge is a cable-stayed structure that crosses the Paraguay River and connects Asunción with Nueva Asunción. The bridge includes four vehicle lanes alongside dedicated spaces for cyclists and pedestrians.
Construction began in 2020, marking a significant moment in Paraguay's modern infrastructure development. The project greatly improved transportation links between Asunción and areas west of the Paraguay River.
The bridge is named after soldiers who fought in the Chaco War, chosen through public participation by local communities. It serves as a daily reminder of this historical chapter in Paraguay's past for everyone crossing it.
The crossing requires payment from all vehicles, so drivers should carry local currency when planning to use the bridge. Traffic can be heavy during peak hours, especially on weekends and early mornings, so it is best to plan your crossing time accordingly.
The bridge structure features solar panels integrated into its cable stays, helping power the bridge's lighting systems. This makes it an early example of sustainable infrastructure in South America.
