New Express Road from San Jose to San Lucas

Anybody take this yet?
Starts right by the Mega on the four-lane and ends up right north of San Lucas, perfect for going to Todos Santos.
Is there a toll charge?

On 7/15/15 we drove on the new road from the SJD airport to Todos Santos. The road takes you to north of Cabo just before where hwy 19 turns north running parallel to the pacific. Must've shaved off 1/2 the time...hardly anyone on the road so I'm thinking it had just opened. Will time it on return. No tolls yet but toll booths set up. In two locations locals set up orange cones to block passage...they are protesting not being paid for their land is what I read later. We were able to drive through a narrow part of the cones but a lady was standing real close where you have to be careful not to drive over her toes :o.

Glad to hear that road is open. Will be great for heading to La Paz or Todos from San Jose del. Just getting through Cabo has been an adventure lately with all the construction on the old bypass road. Thanks for the update. And the locals protesting the lack of payment, typical!

De nada El Jefe.

Anyone know if the new express road is open going from Todos Santos to SJD airport?

Are you talking bout the road that i just posted about? If so, yes, it's open, just two posts up somebody tells the story of them using the road.
Unless there's a different road?

It doesn't go to Todos.....it comes out north of San Lucas but below (south) of Todos....

I'm confused.
