Asuncion, IP Agency.- The Ministry of Public Works and Communications of Misiones, through crews from District No. 8, carried out maintenance of local roads, benefiting seven strategic areas of the department of Misiones. The work includes patching, platform profiling, cleaning and channeling.
The improvements include the Ysypó Potrero – San Pedro – San Miguel stretch; Zapatero Kue – Arroyo González in Santa Rosa, and the roads of the Martín Rolón settlement in San Ignacio.
Likewise Centu Cué of Villa Florida; 29 de Octubre settlement in Santa María where cleaning and channeling were carried out on the road that connects San Roque Rugua with Santiago, and other roads in the district of Villa Florida.
These interventions are crucial for the region, considering that more than 85% of the Paraguayan road network is made up of dirt roads.
Continuous maintenance ensures transitability and improves connectivity in rural communities, directly impacting their quality of life.
This week, the MOPC will continue with the improvement work on the departmental road network in other areas, in collaboration with the Government and the municipalities. These actions seek to strengthen the rural infrastructure of Misiones, laying the foundations for sustained local and regional development.
