Ponte Presidente Dutra, Road bridge over Tietê River in Vila Maria, Brazil
Description
Ponte Presidente Dutra is a major road viaduct crossing the Tietê River in São Paulo, with seven lanes arranged across multiple sections to handle heavy traffic volume. The structure connects the Marginal highway system and carries vehicles between different parts of the city.
History
Construction began in 1946 as a direct route between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, with major expansions added in 1967 and 2010. These later phases reflected the city's growing traffic demands and infrastructure needs.
Culture
The bridge functions as a vital connector between the Marginal Tietê highway and the Presidente Dutra highway, serving millions of commuters.
Practical
The viaduct is accessed via Marginal Tietê highway and is best crossed during off-peak times when traffic volume is lower. Keep in mind that this crossing experiences significant congestion during rush hours.
Did you know?
The structure relies on concrete pillars supporting the entire span without additional supports in the water itself, a solution that keeps the river channel completely open. This approach was essential to maintain navigation for river traffic.
