It is an important connection road in the Uruguayan capital, linking the central barrios of the city, with access to different national routes.

[1] 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.

Because of this, in 1878 the layout of a boulevard was approved, which gave rise to the Novísima Ciudad (Most New City).

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.
