The Monumento Rodoviário da Rodovia Presidente Dutra was an Art Deco monument and rest area built in 1926 along the BR-116 highway at Kilometer 226 of the Serra das Araras in Piraí, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Located on the Rodovia Presidente Dutra section, this structure served travelers on one of Brazil's major transport routes. Though demolished in 1978, it retained heritage status through INEPAC's Good Class designation, preserving its memory as an important roadside landmark of early twentieth-century Brazilian modernism.
