As local German-speaking online portal wochenblatt.cc reports, the project is to be implemented with private investors.<\/p>\n<p>Encarnaci\u00f3n does already have a local train offering a link between the two cities over the San Roque Gonz\u00e1lez de Santa Cruz bridge. However, the city administration is expecting that the urban cable car will bring more growth in tourism and even better local transport.<\/p>\n<p>In spring 2019, Encarnaci\u00f3n Mayor Luis Yd presented the project to Paraguay\u2019s deputy minister of transport, Pedro Britos. Britos described the project as an ambitious proposal but conceded that it still required further investigation, in particular with regard to the funding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, I think the request from Yd is absolutely feasible,\u201d he said. \u201cThe aim is to attract the interest of a private company or national government, so that Encarnaci\u00f3n can be connected by cable car as an alternative mode of transport,\u201d Yd confirmed.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-2 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\"; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;z-index:-1;background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(), to())!important;background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 gradient-container-2 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#e2e2e2;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_6 1_6 fusion-one-sixth fusion-column-first gradient-column-3\" style=\"width:16.666666666667%;width:calc(16.666666666667% - ( ( 20px ) * 0.16666666666667 ) );margin-right: 20px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-3 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\"; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;z-index:-1;background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(), to())!important;background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-two-third fusion-column-last gradient-column-4\" style=\"width:66.666666666667%;width:calc(66.666666666667% - ( ( 20px ) * 0.66666666666667 ) );margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"cbp-headline cbp-344987328\"><div class=\"custom-si text-center\"><H4>Relief for Asunci\u00f3n<\/H4><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p>In Asunci\u00f3n, the county\u2019s capital city, work is also in progress on the implementation of cable cars. Representatives of Austrian cable car manufacturer DOPPELMAYR are planning theconstruction of urban cable cars in the region of Acceso Sur and Artigas as well as in the city of San Lorenzo.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of the project is to relieve the traffic in the metropolitan region, particularly as the alternative Metrobus project has initially been declared a failure. Since spring 2019, DOPPELMAYR has therefore been conducting feasibility studies to assess the potential of urban cable cars in Asunci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>A company representative ex-plained that the investment costs for the urban cable cars should be lower than in La Paz (Bolivia), where cable car manufacturer DOPPELMAYR has installed similar transport systems. The topography of Asunci\u00f3n is much easier than that of the Bolivian capital, the company spokesperson added. However, a figure for the project costs is not yet known. ts<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-4 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\"; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;z-index:-1;background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(), to())!important;background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike other South American countries, Paraguay does not yet have an urban cable car.
