Yes.

I presume this is just a monument (or maybe an electronic toll collector?) on the Sao Paulo Beltway, somewhere on Ilha do Bororé ?

Good Hunting. I glad you found it because it is new (April) and doesn't show on google map. Google maps only shows a satellite picture under construction about a year ago.

FYI the picture you referenced was taken on a BRIDGE across an arm of REPRESSA BILLINGS (built by the Brits in the '30s) and is part of the Rodoanel (beltway) which goes AROUND Sao Paulo.

The structure is a monument wher the portion was inagurated. It will brobably fall down when a big truck hits it...

over to you....

Hope to have something up in a few...

I knew you'd come through for us! Btw, your link doesn't work for me.

Nor me.

Ken - what is a 'doozy'?

The link works for me. Jim... is this ring road completely finished now or are there still sections under construction. Excellent WAIN!

It looks like the link works for me now too.

Ah, the joys of American English.

And me - very strange.

The Rodonel is incomplete. The red section on the west has been in operation for about 5 years. The yellow section on the south inaguarated in April and will begin charging tolls next week. It allows traffic fom the interior and the south to completely by-pass SP on the way to the Port of Santos. The dotted portions pending on the north and east do not have a forecast that I know of. They are are fighting ablut right-of-way, engineering problems, and MONEY. In additon to closing the circle this would link the highway to Rio.

It's good information to know so if I'm ever in Sao Paulo I won't drive off an unfinished bridge.

Where's Ken?
