Английская Википедия:Artigas Boulevard
Шаблон:Short descriptionШаблон:Infobox street Artigas Boulevard is a boulevard in Montevideo, Uruguay. It runs from the Rambla at Punta Carretas to the Rambla at Capurro-Bella Vista, going north for about 6.5 kilometers and turning 100° west. It is an important connection road, linking the central barrios of the city, with access to different national routes.[1]
History
After the Uruguayan Civil War, the city began a strong expansion, so the authorities looked for a way to organize the growth of what was called the "Ciudad Nueva" ("new city") −area outside the old city, which began to develop after the demolition of the fortifications−; the avenue delimited it, that is why it turns 100° to the west. Because of this, in 1878 the layout of a boulevard was approved, which gave rise to the Novísima Ciudad (Most New City).[2] At first it was called "Circunvalación Boulevard", but in 1885 it was named "General José Artigas Boulevard", after the national hero.[3]
On its way, it crosses or borders 16 barrios of Montevideo. It intersects some of the main avenues of the city, like Avenida Agraciada, Avenida General Flores, Avenida 8 de Octubre, and the Rambla of Montevideo, all of which connect to main roads linking Montevideo with the other cities of Uruguay.
