Just to clarify my own mind, is there any indication that the road work will continue beyond Gonzaga atthe same pace (to CoCo's and beyond) or are
they planing on stopping where they are at for the time being?David K - 4-22-2014 at 12:23 PM
They are actively building south from Gonzaga. Nomads have said pavement ends 2 miles south of the Pemex and they are working on a big bridge over
Arroyo Santa Marķa. Just yesterday these photos were posted showing the pavement south of Gonzaga: http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=73334Cliffy - 4-22-2014 at 12:55 PM
Thanks I did see those pictures today. Like I said i was just wondering if the government plan was to continue on a daily basis as they have been
doing and go all the way to Mex 1 or if the plan was to delay at Gonzaga for some government reason? Money availability etc.
Just prognosticating about my ability to drag a trailer down through CoCo's to Mex 1 next year? Even if they grade the rough spots it might be doable
but they probably don't grade too far ahead of where they are working.ehall - 4-22-2014 at 12:56 PM
A couple weeks ago we were at Alfonsinas and some big shots from the government and construction companies were having a meeting about the road. They
had huge maps showing pavement all the way to hwy1 with milestones and dates. Couldn't get close enough to see the completion date.redhilltown - 4-22-2014 at 04:42 PM
I can't imagine they could be finished all the way to Mex 1 by next year. Was there last week and as mentioned, the pace has picked up. Maybe not as
many large washes to cross so that might quicken it...David K - 4-22-2014 at 04:47 PM
The highway construction south from Puertecitos has been averaging 10 kms.(6 miles) a year!
It is 35 miles from Gonzaga (Pemex) to Highway 1 (Chapala)...
They have 2 miles done so far...
At the rate they have been going since 2007, expect the highway to be done in 2019 to 2020. Unless they ramp up the work, that is.redhilltown - 4-22-2014 at 11:19 PM
Or...UN-ramp it!!!!!! Skipjack Joe - 4-22-2014 at 11:28 PM

I'm wondering what the odds are of being caught with dynamite. Seems like a good cause.ehall - 4-23-2014 at 05:13 AM
Can't stop progress. Still thousands of miles of dirt left to explore.sargentodiaz - 4-23-2014 at 02:59 PM
