The project for this station considers the displacement of the current Piqueri station over the existing railway bridge. This operation proved to be interesting as the Piqueri station has little demand and should be completely renovated to meet the modernization program. Its proximity to the Lapa Station will improve the operational conditions of this overloaded station.

The new station will be built over the existing railway bridge that crosses the Tietê River. A new landmark in the city’s landscape, the station over the bridge will enable access on both sides of the river, significantly increasing the potential number of users. A footbridge was associated with the new structure and will be the first exclusively pedestrian crossing over the river.

For the construction the existing bridge was considered as the base for the four lanes that will remain there. The new station will be built from a metal structure independent of the existing concrete bridge, in the form of two parallel trusses with spans of 80m.
