The work met a historical need, determined by the growth of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region with access to the Tietê Ecological Park, São Paulo / Guarulhos International Airport and Intermodal Cargo Terminal.

The inauguration took place on May 1, 1982. The highway, former Trabalhadores, had the first stretch of São Paulo-Guararema built by DERSA in 22 months - from June 1980 to Ap-, has a length of 48.3 km, to which were added 5, corresponding to the interconnection with the Presidente Dutra Highway in which it has the name of Access SP 070 / BR-116. 13,756, gave concession to DERSA for construction and exploration of the Eastern Road, now called the Ayrton Senna Highway.

It is now maintained by Ecopistas, but it is a toll road. It was managed and maintained by DERSA, a state-owned company, until June 18, 2009. The highway is named in honour of the deceased Brazilian Formula One driver, Ayrton Senna. Its main traffic nowadays is between São Paulo and the São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport (also known as Cumbica Airport). Near São Paulo, special highway engineering techniques had to be used, in order to cross the natural swamp area by the Tietê River without damaging the nearby ecosystem. It continues in the same direction into Rodovia Carvalho Pinto, which has the same SP-070 designation, in parallel with Dutra Highway. The cities served by Rodovia Ayrton Senna are Guarulhos, Itaquaquecetuba, Mogi das Cruzes, Suzano, Poá and Guararema.

The highway begins in the Eastern region of city of São Paulo and ends at the county of Guararema, merging with Rodovia Presidente Dutra. Rodovia Ayrton Senna da Silva (officially designated SP-070 and formerly named Rodovia dos Trabalhadores) (Workers' Highway), is a highway in the state of São Paulo, Brazil.
