Viaduto Otávio Rocha
Viaduto Otávio Rocha, Cultural heritage viaduct in central Porto Alegre, Brazil.
The Viaduto Otávio Rocha connects Duque de Caxias Street with Borges de Medeiros Avenue through a reinforced concrete structure with three main spans.
Construction began in 1927 under architects Manoel Barbosa Assumpção Itaqui and Duilio Bernardi, reaching completion in 1932 during Porto Alegre's urban expansion period.
Two transverse porticos feature large niches containing sculptural groups created by Alfred Adloff, while cement mosaics decorate the pedestrian walkways.
Small commercial establishments operate beneath the structure, with four seasonal-themed stairways providing access to the upper level known as Passeio das Quatro Estações.
The surfaces of the viaduct display granite powder plaster treatment that replicates the appearance of traditional stonework throughout the structure.
