The Teodoro Moscoso Bridge is an impressive piece of modern engineering that plays a vital role in connecting San Juan to Isla Verde in Carolina. Whether you’re commuting to the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport or just taking a scenic drive, this bridge offers stunning views of the San José Lagoon that are worth slowing down for (but don’t stop—it's a bridge, after all).
The architecture is sleek and functional, and the bridge stands as a proud symbol of progress and innovation in Puerto Rico. Its significance goes beyond being a mere roadway, as it was named after Teodoro Moscoso, the visionary behind Operation Bootstrap, which transformed Puerto Rico’s economy. Driving over it feels like a trip through history with a side of modern convenience.
Now, let’s talk about that toll. At $3.65 each way, it’s the most expensive toll in Puerto Rico, and let me tell you, it’ll make your wallet feel lighter faster than the bridge traffic during rush hour. But hey, at least the views are free, right? Consider it a scenic tax!
What really makes the bridge special is its cultural significance. It’s the venue for the annual World’s Best 10K, drawing thousands of runners from all over the world. Whether you’re running, driving, or just admiring it from afar, the Teodoro Moscoso Bridge is an iconic part of Puerto Rico’s landscape.
If you’re in the area, take a moment to appreciate this modern marvel—but maybe budget a little extra for that toll. And who knows? You might just cross it and feel like a million bucks... minus a few dollars...

Looks like this is a CASH COW .This bridge cost 130 million and has been operating since 1994. Bridge should be paid off many times over. How GREEDY can a company be!! When is enough enough!!They also added this $15. fine for running out of funds on your toll account. The company's moto is -Take more $$ from citizens that are already...
Read moreI don’t feel like this place is worth it. It’s nice when they close it down and have 5k marathons. However, for its intended purpose of driving, not so much. It’s too expensive even after considering gas and time options. Plan ahead and you won’t need to use this bridge.
Also, beware of getting too close if you are not planning on using it. It seems like they purposely made it difficult to understand, so that people would end up driving right up to pay gate. The exits are convoluted and it doesn’t seem to...
