São Paulo has a huge asphalt structure crossing the old city center. It’s a kind of bridge used just by vehicles and it’s official name is Elevado Costa e Silva but the nickname is ‘Minhocão’ (big worm). It’s a gross mistake built decades ago aiming to fix traffic jam problems. It didn’t work well because was built pretty close to the residential buildings (staying on the same height as the apartment windows) and brought security problems to the region because became the address of homeless people, once it is a big roof crossing the city.
