Pavement on HWY 5 between Coco's and Laguna Chapala
The first bridge going south now has asphalt on it. At least one more bridge also appeared to have been paved. This was my impression from this
afternoon.

Last week they had oil and rock base down for the east most six miles. Batch plant for asphalt was up and running.

I was amazed at how much progress was made on the Chapala end of the project between Thanksgiving and last week!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

came through on the 10th and it looked like pavement was in on the Gonzaga end but could not tell how far... they were grading and rolling road base
just not too far from Coco...
Chapala end was getting road base for a good distance from 1..
still a lot of mtns to push down to grade level and bridges/culverts...
most of the activity was at chapala and the Gonzaga ends not much going on in the middle... looks like about a billion yards of rock and dirt to
knock down to road level..
headed back south next week so will be interesting to see the progress this month maybe can get some pics.....

We just drove this road yesterday. A first for us. There is indeed a lot of work going on in various segments. I was pretty tired of being bumped
around towards the end.
