Abstract

The Acceso Norte was an 84 kilometer road that was designed in 1940 as part of the Access network to the Capital Federal. It was a work that took several decades to complete. Its route began at the intersection with Avenida General Paz (limit and access to the Capital) and culminated in the town of Pilar, its most extreme point. It was made up of three branches (Tigre, Garín and Pilar) that connected with national routes 8, 9 and 12. At the end of the 1950s the works began to be carried out more quickly. In this work we will analyze the spatial transformations produced as the work of the Northern Access progressed on the suburban territory and the way in which a landscape with a strong industrial imprint was configured based on the survey, interweaving and analysis of documentary sources and graphic material.
