• Located in Marginal Pinheiros river at Brooklin Novo Neighborhood near Berrini Avenue.
• Initially the bridge would be 2 bridges alone crossing the Pinheiros river at 60°, but because of pillars in river, the solution of a pensil bridge with concentration of the roads was choiced avoiding environment impact. Now the river is not changed. The iniatially planned costs of R$ 184 million for construction and R$ 40 million for illumination got higher to R$ 233 million, due some discrepancies of changes and time at project. The inauguration date is 10.05.2008. By contract the last date is 10.06.2008, but the city-hall wanted to have at 30.03.2008, because of political reasons. 1000 automobiles are expected on bridge daily.
• The bridge includes 144 cables, 2100 tons of steel and about 11000 m³ of concrete for only 'X' Mast. The concrete volume with the 'X' Mast and the bridges together is 14.450 m³.
• The foundation is sustained on 4 blocks, each one 30m long, 5.6m wide, and 2m high.
• The bridges are 900m long, each with 290m central vain with yellow cables. Considering all viaducts, it has a length of 1600m.
• Each Stayed Cable has from 12 to 25 steel cables inside and all together weigth is 462 tons. They are covered by a yellow tube of polyethylene of elevated mechanical resistance, tolerant the ultraviolet action of rays, with the function of protecting the steel against corrosion.
• One of the bridge has 12m high and connect Av. Roberto Marinho to Morumbi neighborhood. The other 24m high connect Marginal Pinheiros with Av. Roberto Marinho. They crossed in a 'X' inside the tower.
• 450 workes were necessary to build the bridge. However during the construction 2 of them dead. A 49-years old worker of asphalt controlling in one of the ramps was killed on 16.03.2008 by a roller compressor machine, when many people tried to inform him, but security ears devices not allowed him to be adviced, resulting in this tragedy. This is the second accident case during its construction after one 22-old man falling down 11m in the 'X' part on 08.04.2007.
• Electrical Cables were necessary to be put higher, with concrete pylons, instead of a higher cost underground solution.
• The yellow cables are chosen afterwords to play together the rainbow illumination applied in whole structure, giving a gold appearance when illuminated. Also side wind inox panels are installed along the roads.
• Measurements
- X form width - bottom 76.0 m
- X form width - top 35.3 m
