How is hwy 3 from Ensenada to San Felipe?

KILLER potholes or just the usual stuff?

Most recent report on FB said post holes filled but still present in the windmill area

It’s been a couple months, but it was awful, as usual then. There was one guy driving a pickup truck with sand in the bed, who would park in the road, get out, climb in the bed, throw a shovel full of sand in the pothole, jump back in the cab, drive 8 feet to the next pothole, and do the whole process again. He sure could use an amigo to drive the truck for him.

Just go slow and pay attention. As soon as you think the road is getting good and you can speed up to 55mph, you’ll crest a small hill with a foot and a half deep pothole across both lanes.

I drove the entire road last week, both ways. The road has improved considerably. All potholes have been properly patched and filled with asphalt.

With a notable exception in the area of no-man's land...Km 143 and 152 where the windmills are. They are not bad , just the annoying mall shallow potholes. I know I said 11 km. however, the pot-holed area totals to about ½ km.
