| Work Detail |
In 2026, the City of Buenos Aires will begin construction of the La Pampa Ring Road, a circular bridge that seeks to improve urban connectivity and reduce travel times in one of the busiest areas of the capital. With an estimated investment of $50 billion, the project aims to optimize vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic at the intersection of La Pampa Street with the Lugones Highway, the Belgrano Norte railway tracks, and the Illia Highway. The structures design, reminiscent of the Hovenring Bridge in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, will include an elevated ring with a diameter of 140 meters, from which Jorge Newbery International Airport will be visible. The project will not only improve mobility in the area but will also function as a panoramic viewpoint, adding architectural and tourist appeal to the city. The La Pampa Ring will facilitate the connection between Bajo Belgrano and Palermo with strategic points such as Ciudad Universitaria, the Coastal Park, and the Costanera Rafael Obligado. The structure will feature a two-way tunnel for vehicles, while the upper ring road will be dedicated to pedestrians and cyclists, providing a safe and efficient alternative for urban transportation. The project by MZM Arquitectos was the winner of an international design competition, standing out for its combination of functionality, safety, and aesthetics. It will also be complemented by the expansion and modernization of the Labruna Bridge, which connects the Monumental Stadium with the Innovation Park, strengthening the mobility infrastructure in the northern part of the city. The project will take approximately 20 months to complete and will cover 10,000 square meters. The new infrastructure is expected to streamline travel and contribute to a more sustainable and efficient mobility model in the city. Inspired by European models, the La Pampa Ring Road is emerging as an innovative solution to improve traffic flow in a highly congested area, while adding a new architectural landmark to Buenos Aires. |
