The text examines the consensus that public and disciplinar opinion ignited the construction of a highway through the city’s downtown. The text refers to the type of questioning that the project incited early on. The physical characteristics can be understood as early forms of mitigation of the project: (a) the road is built at street level, but in its extension by the microcenter it is deliberately sunken (as opposed to elevetad), and (b) in its central axis the route triggered a fiscal strip for the construction of a future metropolitan line. Although it was not an international innovation, the combination of the two transportation means on the same highway provided infrastructural qualities that, for an independent observer, could moderate its intrusive nature. The Corporación de Mejoramiento Urbano was headed by a team of skeptical architects facing the most orthodox modern urbanism. El artículo ensaya una nueva aproximación a la alianza que urbanismo moderno, remodelación urbana e infraestructura vial materializaron en el Santiago reformista. El texto ausculta el consenso que en la opinión pública despertó la construcción de una autopista por el microcentro de la ciudad. Dos características físicas podrían ser entendidas como formas tempranas de atenuación del proyecto: (a) la vía se construye a nivel de la calle, pero en su extensión por el microcentro se despliega deliberadamente hundida en vez de aérea, (b) en su eje central el trazado dispuso una franja fiscal para la construcción de una línea del futuro metropolitano. Aunque no se trataba de una innovación internacional, la combinación de dos usos de transporte sobre una misma autopista, le confieren a la infraestructura cualidades que, para un observador independiente, podrían moderar su carácter intrusivo. El texto especula respecto a los cuestionamientos que la obra despertó tan pronto Corporación de Mejoramiento Urbano fue encabezada por un equipo de arquitectos escépticos frente al urbanismo moderno más ortodoxo. Um ataque aéreo dentro de um golpe de Estado serve como ponto de partida para repensar a construção de uma rodovia no centro de Santiago do Chile. Ambas as intervenções tiveram resistências, embora de natureza extremamente diferente. Enquanto o cerco militar de La Moneda notoriamente afetou a construção mais simbólica de todos aqueles localizados no distrito cívico, a estrada perfurou o centro no que seus promotores chamavam de seu ponto mais suave. Sem esgotar uma explicação, o texto especula sobre a violência aninhada em ambas as intervenções, forçando paralelos com os quadros intelectuais que os justificaram.
