Abstract

As is well known, growing urban transportation loads have created serious problems in our large cities. To remedy this crisis. It is more than ever necessary to plan varied and important engineering works in all urban areas. This article describes the road works which have perfected Caracas urban circulation. It consists of a very efficient system of arteries containing transit timing devices: the interchange «El Ciempiés», the highway «La Araña», the avenue «Boyacá», the interchange «Baralt Sur», etc. All this enormous and complicated program goes to show the outstanding effort being put forth by the Venezuelan Ministry of Public Works, dedicated to improving urban engineering in the country. With its engineers, technical personnel, various other government organs, and construction firms of national renown, it is realizing its goals.
