Avenida 9 de Julio, located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is officially the widest avenue in the world. With about 140 meters in width and a total of 16 lanes, it continues to impress residents and tourists. Its name refers to the date of Argentine independence, celebrated on July 9.

The construction of the avenue began with grand ambitions. The Argentine capital, nicknamed “Paris of South America”, wanted to reinforce this title with a monumental roadway.

Inspiration came from the Champs-Élysées in Paris, but the intent was to surpass the French model with a wider and more imposing avenue.

The title of the widest avenue in the world is secured by a technical detail. Avenida 9 de Julio incorporates Carlos Pellegrini Street to the east and Cerrito Street to the west.

Together, they add six additional lanes. Without this junction, the width of the avenue would drop to 120 meters, below the officially recorded 140 meters.

A Crossing That Tests The Clock

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

What is trash for many became the entrance of a house for an Australian who spent seven years collecting over 450,000 cans and bottles on beaches and at festivals, demonstrating how a system that pays for recycled packaging can transform waste into income and remove trash from the environment.

How much does plastering cost per square meter? Professionals quote an average between R$ 25 and R$ 30.

Three records at once: a 23,163-ton ship was moved on 880 axle lines, 3,520 wheels, and also transferred to three barges with 26,900 tons on wheels.
