Was planning on heading down that way early tomorrow. Saw some video on FB showing some washouts due to today’s storms. Any first hand reports on
the condition of the road and if it’s passable. ThanksAKgringo - 9-24-2021 at 06:52 PM
I would also expect some rocks on the road from those way to steep cuts through the mountains. Bajazly - 9-24-2021 at 06:54 PM
Only big wind and a little rain just north of town today and bunches of lightning and little rain yesterday. This is about 4 miles north of the
arches.nbentley1 - 9-24-2021 at 06:58 PM

That sure looks like it was washed out and repaired in the not too distant past!nbentley1 - 9-24-2021 at 07:08 PM

Maybe it was the same spot that got smashed last time around Bajazly - 9-24-2021 at 08:01 PM
Up on the lake bed? Looked yesterday like it was raining pretty good up that way.Bajazly - 9-24-2021 at 10:41 PM
The GF sent me a video of the road between the mina and la salada, looks pretty beat up and lots of water running under the cut but there were cars
driving over it however, cautiously. Might take a ride up there tomorrow to have a lookMaderita - 9-25-2021 at 12:30 AM

Después de la tormenta ocurrida en la zona de San Felipe, diversas autoridades resguardan el tramo de carretera afectado a la altura del km 100 + 300
(Mexicali-San Felipe).
Personal ya trabaja en la rehabilitación.
Circule con precaución en la zona.David K - 9-25-2021 at 09:50 AM
Was planning on dive trip to Gonzaga and wasn't too thrilled about taking boat on Hwy 5 with the apparent damage. Additionally trying to obtain
accurate weather for the first week of October. Anybody have eyes on the road situation?pacificobob - 9-28-2021 at 08:00 AM
Ill be passing through in mid October. I'll post what I encounter, as others are sure to do. David K - 9-28-2021 at 08:30 AM
It is a very busy road and trucks use it daily. Washouts are quickly detoured around and soon repaired (at least to San Felipe from Mexicali).PaulW - 9-28-2021 at 12:03 PM
One lane was closed until the they got it fixed.PaulW - 9-28-2021 at 12:13 PM
I wonder oi the new bridge at Km 107, just S of La Ventana had any water flow?
The last time the road was washed out at Km100 amd little flow at Km107 under the new bridge. That time the whole road was gone for over 100 yards
near Km 100 and it took more than a day to fix it.
The water shed in the area is not well understood, but it is obvious that a Km100 needs a bridge.
Makes my wonder if the improvement of the mine road to their wells has changed the water flow?
