The Teodoro Moscoso Bridge (Spanish: Puente Teodoro Moscoso) is a bridge in Puerto Rico. It works as an extension of PR-17, also known as the Jesus T. Piñero Expressway, connecting this thoroughfare with the Román Baldorioty de Castro Expressway (PR-26). It crosses the San José Lagoon thereby linking Hato Rey and Rio Piedras in San Juan to Isla Verde in Carolina. The bridge has become the new entrance to the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport. It was opened on February 28, 1994 under the administration of Governor Pedro Rosselló, this construction being the first to be held under a Public Private Partnership in Puerto Rico.[2] The bridge consists of four lanes, electronic signs, a toll plaza with a fee of $3.65 in each direction.[3] The bridge has flagpoles on both sides with alternating American and Puerto Rican flags. The bridge accepts AutoExpreso, Puerto Rico's toll transponder system.[4]
