Rodovia Santos Dumont
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rodovia Santos Dumont (officially designated SP-075) is a highway in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.
It runs in a North-South direction and interconnects the cities of Campinas, Indaiatuba, Salto, Itu and Sorocaba, crossing with two other major highways, Rodovia Castelo Branco, nearby Sorocaba, and the Rodovia dos Bandeirantes nearby Campinas, thus forming a vertex of the Macrometropolitan Highway Ring of São Paulo. At the km 66 of Rodovia Santos Dumont there is the Viracopos Airport.
The highway honours the Brazilian inventor Alberto Santos-Dumont, considered the "father of aviation". who studied in Campinas. It is managed and maintained through a state concession to private company Colinas, and therefore is a toll road.
