As a lasting legacy of the upcoming Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, the Mayor of Rio has named a major transport hub in the city “the Paralympic Terminal”. Last weekend Mayor Paes opened the Transolimpica, a new 26km road which links two major competition venues of the Rio 2016 Games; the Olympic Park in Barra da Tijuca and Deodoro Sports Complex.
The new route is expected to cut journey times for athletes, fans and officials attending the Paralympic Games which open on 7 September. The new expressway also includes a Bus Rapid Transit for articulated buses which around 70,000 people are expected to use every day once it is fully operational.
