Characteristics

The station is located in Avenida Vital Brasil, 427, in a crossing with Rua Pirajussara. Is an underground station, with side platforms and support rooms above the ground level, with structures in concrete and a metallic structure catwalk, fixated with braces above the platforms. The ViaQuatro employees' offices and technical and operational rooms are located in external buildings, what would have avoided, according to the Metro, many expropriations.[4]
