History
Line: Deodoro e Santa Cruz
At the beginning of the 20th century, the city of Rio de Janeiro underwent a major urban reform under the command of Mayor Pereira Passos and his team, made up of the Minister of Roads and Public Works Lauro Muller and engineers Paulo de Frontin and Francisco Bicalho.
Certain that the traffic on the avenues next to the channel of the Mangue de São Diogo was increasing and that this would bring some complications to the railroad, since the trains crossed level crossings between the old São Diogo station and the São Cristóvão station, they suggested that the railway line be elevated, bringing about a remarkable piece of Brazilian engineering, designed by Carlos Euler and executed by Alfredo Magno de Carvalho: a 1,940 meter long viaduct with three spans (one over Avenida Francisco Bicalho and two over the Mangue canal and stretches of São Cristóvão street).
The name of the Lauro Muller viaduct and the Lauro Muller station on it, paid homage to Lauro Severiano Muller (1863-1926), Minister of Roads and Public Works at the time.
