There was some kind of protest today at the Ensenada entrance, which is still closed. They were not real clear about what was going on, but I may have caused part of that by hollering "P-nche Huelga".

I love the quote by an old and dear geologist-friend;

"EARTH HAPPENS".

Just in time for a Merry Christmas!

Bob H - 12-15-2014 at 08:46 PM

Any update on the paving of the toll road repairs?

BornFisher - 12-15-2014 at 08:52 PM

Yesterday road was closed, rumors say manana camino es open!!

bajabound2005 - 12-15-2014 at 09:17 PM

it was closed today. no opening date has been established and the "protesters" are still firmly routed at the entrance to the free road in Ensenada. but news article just now says "mañana" at noon.

Bob H - 12-16-2014 at 11:19 PM

Why are they protesting?

bigmike - 12-17-2014 at 06:55 AM

According to friends who live by the Toll Booth, the road opened yesterday at 5pm. Keep our fingers crossed that it stays open.

Is it really open now? Not just news reports, but has anyone actually driven it after the grand reopening?

Toll road

bajaguy - 12-17-2014 at 09:30 AM

Yes, Ray. It is really open.

An early Christmas present......use it while it is still there

Heavy rain in the area and apparently they will let big trucks continue to use the toll road......should make driving the free road an enjoyable experience

This is good news as I am headed down tomorrow with a good friend of mine to spend a few days in Ensenada.

I know, I said I was done, but I lied!... :lol:

Pescador - 12-17-2014 at 03:58 PM

I drove it today and it is good as new.

Interesting videos at that link. If you watch the first one then you can keep clicking thru you will see lots of others. Free wi-fi for everyone! Almost. Lots of new roads, bridges,airports,ports,construction.

Brought to you by the Secretary of building stuff to improve stuff that needs updating, etc. :saint:

Here in La Mision we are celebrating the opening of the toll Road and the end of the detour through our Colonia. I have doubts about the sustainability of this road in this geologically unsound area :(

willardguy - 12-28-2014 at 07:30 PM

unlike most nomads I don't claim to be either a geologist, engineer or fortuneteller but im pretty impressed with the amount of earth they moved! quite an undertaking! and im sure you folks in La Mision will be stoked to get your tope's back!:coolup:
