Minhocão (São Paulo)
The Minhocão, officially Via Elevada Presidente Costa e Silva, is a elevated highway in São Paulo, Brazil. Between 21:30 and 06:30 on weekdays and all day on Sundays, the highway is closed to car traffic, allowing dedicated use by pedestrians and cyclists. The road is named after the minhocão, a quasi-fictitious earthworm-like creature. Local urban planners have long advocated tearing down the road in order to promote urban renewal.
==History==
In 1969, an elevated roadway was proposed by the administration of São Paulo Mayor Paulo Maluf to help relieve traffic congestion in central São Paulo. Work on the highway, the largest infrastructure project of its time in Latin America, was completed in 1970.〔
Because of the noise and disturbance caused to residents—in many places the roadbed passes within of apartment windows—in 1976 the municipal administration decided to close the highway to automobile traffic on Sundays and holidays. In the 1990s, residents and the administration also brokered an agreement to close the highway between the hours of 21:30 and 06:30.
