In this video, you'll take a convoluted drive that covers three of the expresswaygrade municipal routes in Todos Santos: the TS69, TS22 and TS4, going from downtown to the seaport to the airport.

ABOUT THE ROUTE
TS69 primarily consists of the Todos Santos Bay Toll Bridge, which connects downtown to the town of Gatoña. There is an additional short stretch that runs through Gatoña, meets up with the TS2, and then terminates at TS20 by the new Walmart.

TS22 runs at a diagonal, connecting the TS2 to TS1 and allowing quick access to Puerto Nuevo, the city's large shipping hub.

TS4 begins at the downtown stack interchange and then runs east through Las Colinas, first the town and then the two hills that are its namesake. It then bulldozes its way through the heart of the town of Alegría del Alma, runs by the airport and terminates in a Yinterchange with the TS2.

ABOUT THE LANDMARKS
Puente de la Bahía de Todos Santos (Todos Santos Bay Bridge): This toll bridge, built in 1999 to provide quick access from downtown to the new port development, defines many of the views of the city's skyline. It is just high enough to allow the largest cargo ships to pass underneath it. It was constructed in a privatepublic partnership, with operations set to transfer to the city government next year. Proposals have been made to add a pedestrian deck, metro line and/or BRT line beneath the 4lane road deck.

DUM Basnaim: This veteran ship bounces between Todos Santos and many of the other ports in the Mar Verde and Atlantic Ocean, carrying anything that'll fit into a 40' container.

El Trébol (the Clover): Misshapen as it is, this cloverleaf interchange on the outskirts of Gatoña performs its job of connecting two expressways adequately. Alternate name proposed by some citizens: "Los huevos".

Puerto Nuevo: The final step in Todos Santos' "New Millenium" infrastructure plan, this large port development replaced Puerto Norte as the main shipping hub of the city. 96% of all goods imported to the city pass through here. It has spawned much development and many issues in the surrounding areas, but most citizens report getting a warm and fuzzy feeling when the see the giant cranes moving containers to their shores.

Torre Marín (Marín Tower): Being the tallest structure in the metropolitan area, this radio/TV antenna perched on top of the larger of the two hills dominates the city's skyline.

Edificio Azúcar (the Sugar Building): Named in reference to the oncetitanic sugar industry harbored in Alegría del Alma, this mixeduse skyscraper draws as many "oohs" as it does "ughs". Most, though, agree that it's central to the character of the area.

Aeropuerto Internacional de Todos Santos: A giant threerunway airport built on what was once a small plains peninsula. It was once a military airport, but over the last century of peace it has been transferred to the city government and brought millions of passengers to and from this city to and from all corners of the globe.

CimAir flight 399 from Alpenglow: A longhaul flight originating in the mountain city of Alpenglow; not for the impatient. The other end of its leg makes an appearance in this video:    • Alpenglow  Cinematic Video (Cities: ...

ABOUT THE SERIES
On the north shores of this tropical island sprawls the metropolis of Todos Santos. In this series, I attempt to build a Latin American city that roams from the Old World casco viejo to the carcentric urbanism of the New World, primarily drawing inspiration from San Juan, Puerto Rico. I hope you’ll join me on this highdetail exploration of all the things that make us love cities.
