Paving those POTHOLES on the Vizcaino-Asuncion road!!!

shari - 12-13-2012 at 02:17 PM

Wooo hoooo...lets have a big round of applause for the paving crew who are laying down blacktop where the worst stretch of potholes....er craters....were near the Asuncion turnoff.

Seeing all this equipment was a very welcome sight and so half the nasty part will be sweet in a few more days just in time for the holiday visitors.









but beware the other part of the road closer to Vizcaino as there are still some very very bad holes.

Good news! just hope it the bloody salt leaves it alone until Next summer in time for the toad YT in tortugas.

Congrats Shari, now dealing with those bank tellers won't hurt so bad.

Well Blanca, this thread is over a month old, does anyone have some updates? Is the bad section now repaved?

shari - 1-18-2013 at 09:54 AM

YES YES YES....the new pavement is lovely...but there are still bad potholes on the section after Vizcaino so you still have to keep watch for those nasties...but half of the bad section is now awesome....lets hope they pave the other part soon too.

Are they still working on it or have they packed up and gone away?

see? now if this were on the other side folks would be crying about losing their paradise. some nonsense about good potholes bringing bad people, or is it bad potholes.......you get my drift.....:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Potholes are always a nuisance, but not a dead end on the road to Paradise.

"The Road to Asuncion."

Now...it's the Dunes that I really love...when you hit one at 45 you get a real lifting feeling. Plus, maybe they will cover those potholes?

Tally Ho!

Udo - 1-18-2013 at 10:58 AM

At the current pace, the pot holes should be paved over by our next trip to Shari's place.

I didnt see any work being done on that last stretch when I drove it a few days ago....who knows with the new PRI government if all the paving projects will be continued...rumour has it this party isnt known for aiding the fishing villages...we shall see.

DANG --- we were hoping the paving people were marching on toward Vizcaino!

jurelador - 2-12-2013 at 09:48 PM

Hopefully they will keep the paving going; will make my trip in August that much smoother, albeit a little less fun dodging the suspension-eating potholes.
