One of the tasks being carried out is the installation of horizontal and vertical signage on several strategic sections of the paved road network. These include Route PY06, Route D048 – Route to Jesús de Tavarangué, Route PY08, and Route PY07, as well as the cleaning of the right-of-way of these routes to improve visibility and road safety.
At the same time, a 12-meter-long bridge is being repaired in the Caraguatá area, Carmen del Paraná district, where structural work has already been completed and the loading of stone at the bridgeheads has begun, thus ensuring its functionality during the event.
Also, as part of the work, horizontal and vertical signage has been reinforced in tourist areas prioritized by the National Secretariat of Tourism (SENATUR) and in the primary area of Encarnación, in order to facilitate parking and the orientation and circulation of both competitors and the national and international public.
Greater safety on dangerous stretches
Another of the most important points in terms of safety was addressed at different sites, where the installation of 400 linear meters of Flex Beam-type metal safety railings is planned in critical sectors of the circuits, such as sharp curves, bridges, culverts, and high places with dangerous ravines. These actions seek to prevent incidents and comply with the requirements of the event organizers.
