Engineer Ari Torres Bridge, Bridge in Morumbi district, São Paulo, Brazil.
Engineer Ari Torres Bridge is a traffic bridge over the Pinheiros River in the Morumbi district with four lanes in each direction supported by concrete pillars. It connects Marginal Pinheiros to Bandeirantes Avenue and provides direct access to major highways.
The bridge was built to create a key connection for trade between inland Brazil and Santos Port. Over the years it became crucial infrastructure for regional economic development.
The bridge is named after a Brazilian engineer and represents local engineering accomplishments. It is part of the city's daily traffic landscape and connects different neighborhoods together.
The bridge experiences heavy daily traffic and serves as a main commuter route. It is best to avoid peak hours in the morning and evening if you need to cross it.
After the 2010 opening of the Mario Covas Ring Road southern section, heavy vehicles were restricted on the bridge to reduce urban traffic. This was a major shift for one of the city's busiest routes.
