Reviewers mention the convenience of the two-lane road for pedestrians and faster access to Argentina and Chaco Central. While cars have to pay tolls when crossing to Chaco and back to Asuncion, bicycles and pedestrians enjoy free passage. The bridge is praised for speeding up travel between Argentina and Asunción with its beautiful lights at night.
New bridge, opened about 3 months ago.
Have to pay once you cross to Chaco!!!
Have to pay again to cross back to Asuncion.
We saw cars crossing to Chako and turning back before the toll post on the white separator lines.
Bycicles and pedestrian are free. There is no dedicated byciclw line though
