This is quite the "big time" project. By now I expect that some of the pre-stressed girders may be in place.

...I was just waiting for the vado to fill up with debris, and then to have it paved over...elgatoloco - 2-12-2007 at 08:09 PM
Looks like they are getting ready for all the trucks that will be heading south to the port at Santa Rosalia from the mega-mining operation at El
Arco.woody with a view - 2-12-2007 at 08:11 PM

Loreto's getting a new hwy bridge too, across the arroyo just south of town.Capt. George - 2-13-2007 at 02:11 AM
Might have been more deaths on that curve then all of Baja.
An entire Abreojos family wiped out there...curva peligrosa!!!rts551 - 2-13-2007 at 06:54 AM
Been fun watching them for the last year. Cement batch plant out of the back of some old cement trucks... another two years and they should be
finished.

Thats about the way it looked in the 1st week in January, no girders up then.Hook - 2-13-2007 at 01:21 PM
I'd prefer tierra firma and cautious speed to THAT.

PJ, surely you don't drive through downtown Mulege to avoid the bridge!!!
I'll admit that I'll miss some of the personality that is being taken out of our favorite "adventure travel" pavement.
I imagine that the passage of time and the influence of the truckers has something to do with this.
Here in Siskiyou County, just north of Yreka on I-5 there is a big grade that could have been avoided my intelligent design, but it would have
isolated Yreka. The truckers call it Politician Hill.Capt. George - 2-13-2007 at 01:48 PM
Siskiyou, how about you big siski!
ya gotta be kiddin with that name?Hook - 2-13-2007 at 02:17 PM
No, I dont. I trust the bridge at Mulege. It's torrential tested!
I came upon the scene of a wreck at that location north of San Ignacio. I was towing north and this idiot gringo in an F150 passed me towing something
very small. Cant remember if it was a small boat or utility trailer. Anyway, the guy is taking corners at inhuman speeds and passes me before San Ig.
When I get to the curvas, there is a crowd of people at the edge with a few cars stopped in my lane. I got out and looked down and there was the idiot
gringo down in the wash. This was at the base of the RH turn as you head north. Truck appeared to have landed nose first into the wash. Never heard
about any casualties.
