Héroes del Chaco Bridge

About

The Héroes del Chaco Bridge (Puente Héroes del Chaco) is a cable-stayed bridge in Paraguay that connects the city of Asunción and Nueva Asunción. It crosses the Paraguay River in order to link the Paraguayan eastern and western regions. It was built to help decongest the Remanso Bridge, located eight km upstream. It will be the only large-span bridge in the capital, and the first to link it with the Western Region. It was officially inaugurated by President Santiago Peña on March 3, 2024.
