Ponte Cruzeiro do Sul, Railway and road bridge in São Paulo, Brazil

Ponte Cruzeiro do Sul - Jornalista Ary Silva is a low road bridge over the Tietê River, numbered 14 on the Marginal Tietê, linking Avenida Cruzeiro do Sul between Santana and Pari. It keeps the pillars and support arches of the late 19th-century Tramway da Cantareira bridge, and the Metro Line 1-Blue runs alongside it between Armênia and Portuguesa-Tietê stations.

The Tramway da Cantareira ran across this spot until 1964; its late-19th-century bridge was then largely reused for the new crossing. The Ponte Cruzeiro do Sul opened on 25 January 1967 as part of the Marginal Tietê road system, linking Santana and Pari. Its low deck and arched river piers still show the older structure.

The bridge carries the name of journalist Ary Silva since 2010, honoring his advocacy for the expansion of Cruzeiro do Sul Avenue. This naming reflects how the city recognizes individuals who shaped its modern infrastructure.

The bridge sits between two other major bridges along Marginal Tietê and connects the Santana and Pari neighborhoods. Visitors exploring the area can see the structure from different viewpoints along the riverbank.

The bridge is low and keeps arched support brackets over the Tietê, features typical of late 19th-century bridges rather than the tall prestressed-concrete spans of the 1960s. Its deck also carries the Metro Line 1-Blue track between Armênia and Portuguesa-Tietê stations.
