Highway system

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 July 2023, the first duplicated highway in Paraguay was being created on the stretch of PY-02 closest to Asunción, and there were already 122 kilometres (76 mi) duplicated. 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.
