After a meeting with the President of Paraguay, Santiago Peña, and Governor Eduardo Riedel, the 1st Secretary of the Legislative Assembly, State Deputy Paulo Corrêa (PSDB), confirmed this Tuesday (24) the paving of the Estrada da Ingazeira and the construction of a bridge over the Apa River, connecting Porto Murtinho to the Department of Concepción, in Paraguay.
“President Santiago Peña has committed that Paraguay will be responsible for building the bridge over the Apa River, while the State Government will carry out the paving of approximately 60 kilometers of the Ingazeira Road, from MS-195 to BR-267. This is a demand that we have been advocating for since 2023, when we formally requested it from Governor Eduardo Riedel, and it will be fundamental for the integration of our region,” highlighted Paulo Corrêa.
These projects represent a strategic advancement for regional integration and should strengthen the logistical connection between Brazil and Paraguay, expanding access to the Bioceanic Route and boosting the competitiveness of products from Mato Grosso do Sul in the international market.
Corrêa explained that paving the Ingazeira Road will ensure better traffic conditions on one of the region’s main roads, while the construction of the bridge will create a new international link, facilitating the transport of goods and travel between the two countries.
“The Ingazeira Road is one of the main routes for transporting agricultural production in the region. With the paving and the new bridge, we will have more safety, more speed and reduced costs for those who produce, strengthening the entire production chain,” he stated.
The legislator also highlighted that the flow of vehicles in the region is expected to grow significantly with the advancement of the Bioceanic Route , requiring adequate infrastructure to meet the demand. “We are preparing the region for a new era, with increased traffic of light and heavy vehicles and more opportunities for development,” he pointed out.
Corrêa also emphasized the key role of political coordination in making the projects viable. “This progress is the result of a joint effort, with dialogue and partnership. We worked directly with Governor Eduardo Riedel, Fiems, and President Santiago Peña to take this project from the drawing board and turn it into reality,” he concluded.
