The Héroes del Chaco Bridge (Spanish: Puente Héroes del Chaco) is a cable-stayed bridge in Paraguay that connects the city of Asunción and Nueva Asunción. DYWIDAG supplied and installed the stay cable system for a new bridge designed to alleviate traffic at a busy border area between Brazil and Paraguay. It crosses the Paraguay River in order to link the Paraguayan eastern and western regions. It was built to help decongest the Remanso. The Bioceanic route is an international project that aims to link the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through a highway that will cross Chile, Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil, with the aim of stimulating freight traffic. As it passes between Paraguay and Brazil, the route will link the towns of Carmelo. The completion of the Ponte da Integração Brasil-Paraguai, the friendship bridge linking Brazil and Paraguay, is a long-awaited second connection between the two countries with a main span of 470 meters, making it the longest in Latin America.
