LOAN TO GOVERNMENT OF PARAGUAY SUPPORTS ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION COSTS FOR REHABILITATION OF THE 327 KM 'BRAZIL ROAD', WHICH LINKS ASUNCION WITH PUNTO PRESIDENTE STROESSNER ON THE BRAZILIAN BORDER. ALONG SECTION A (73 KM) FROM ASUNCION TO EUSEBIO AYALA, SHOULDERS WILL BE REPAIRED; NEW CULVERTS AND DRAINS INSTALLED; HOLES AND EDGE FAILURES PATCHED; MINOR BASE FAILURES CORRECTED, AND DOUBLE COAT OF ASPHALT PLACED. EXTENSIVE ROAD FAILURES IN SECTION B (NEXT 59 KM TO CORONEL OVIEDO) REQUIRE VIRTUAL RECONSTRUCTION OF ROAD. ORIGINAL SURFACE AND BASE WILL BE REMOVED; BED GRADED; DRAINAGE INSTALLED; NEW DENSELY GRADED BASALT BASE PLACED; AND MULTIPLE-LIFT ASPHALT SURFACE APPLIED. SECTION C (NEXT 50 KM TO CAAGUAZU) REQUIRES INSTALLATION OF 4 PIPE CULVERTS; REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING SURFACE AND BASE (3 KM); REINFORCEMENT OF BASE WITH DENSE GRADED BASALT COURSE (50 KM); APPLICATION OF PRIME COAT (50 KM); AND SURFACING WITH MULTIPLE-LIFT ASPHALT (50 KM). FINAL 145 KM TO BRAZILIAN BORDER HAS HAD NO APPRECIABLE FAILURES, BUT, DUE TO TRAFFIC BY HEAVY LOGGING VEHICLES AND CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT, WILL REQUIRE REINFORCEMENT WITH MULTIPLE-LIFT SURFACE TO PREVENT FUTURE DETERIORATION.
