Teodoro Moscoso Bridge

Teodoro Moscoso Bridge is a road bridge that spans San Jose Lagoon connecting San Juan to Carolina. The structure carries four traffic lanes in each direction with emergency shoulders on the sides.

The bridge opened in February 1994 as Puerto Rico's first public-private partnership infrastructure project. It was built to support the region's economic development that had grown significantly in earlier decades.

The structure honors Teodoro Moscoso, who developed Operation Bootstrap, an economic expansion initiative for Puerto Rico following World War II.

A toll is required to cross in each direction, accepted in cash, by credit card, or through the electronic AutoExpreso system. Plan extra time for payment processing, especially during rush periods when traffic builds up.

Each year the bridge hosts one of the world's largest 10-kilometer running races, attracting athletes from around the globe. The event has transformed the crossing into a notable destination for running competitions.
