Route 2 (Paraguay)
Road in Paraguay
National Route Number 2 (officially, PY02, better known as Ruta Dos) is one of the most important highways in Paraguay, which connects the two major cities in the country, Asunción and Ciudad del Este. Crossing the departments of Central, Cordillera, Caaguazu and Alto Paraná.
In 2019, the 140 kilometres (87 mi) between Ciudad del Este and Caaguazú were doubled. In 2024, the duplication of 149 kilometres (93 mi) of the highway between the cities of Ypacaraí and Caaguazú was completed. So, the first duplicated highway in Paraguay was created. The highway is the most important in the country, as it connects the capital Asunción with the second largest city (Cuidad del Este), with Brazil (the country's largest trading partner) and finally with the Port of Paranaguá.
