Thus, with this viaduct, residents of the areas of Benfica, Talatona, Futungo, Patriota and part of Morro Bento will be able to reach downtown more easily.
The works on the viaduct started in 2018 and, according to Fernando Francisco, national director of Infrastructure at the Ministry and Spatial Planning, suffered some stoppages due to the financial situation that the country has been going through in recent years.

Fernando Francisco also said, quoted by Angop, that this project aims to uneven the Samba/Talatona direction, with a view to preventing it from crossing at the same level with the future marginal road (starting at the Dr. António Agostinho Neto Memorial and ending at Corimba ), intersecting Via da Samba.
