From vicainohoy,…

Como parte de los compromisos establecidos entre el gobierno federal y estatal en

el Programa Integral para el Bienestar de Mulegé, el pasado 18 de agosto se publicó la licitación de la modernización de la carretera Transpeninsular en el tramo carretero Vizcaíno- Guerrero Negro, anunció Marco Antonio Gutiérrez de la Rosa, titular de la Secretaría de Planeación Urbana, Infraestructura, Movilidad, Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (SEPUIMM).

Esta obra tiene como objetivo mejorar la seguridad de las personas que transitan por esta vía de comunicación y que es de vital importancia para las familias de toda la entidad, los trabajos contemplan el inicio de la ampliación de 6 a 9 metros de esta sección, que se realizará en etapas, así como la modernización del Entronque en Guerrero Negro.

Puntualizó que la Secretaría de Infraestructura, Comunicaciones y Transportes (SICT), transfirió a finales del mes de julio 100 millones de pesos al Gobierno del Estado para el desarrollo de la obra, que durante este año se desarrollará desde Vizcaíno hacia el norte del estado, además en esta localidad el Gobernador estableció el compromiso de mejorar el acceso.

Al finalizar Gutiérrez de la Rosa, hizo un llamado a las empresas interesadas en participar en el proceso de licitación a que ingresen en la página Compranet 5.0 de la Secretaría de la Función Pública en las siguientes ligas:

Soooo... it is an announcement that they will be asking for bids to widen the highway almost 10 more feet (6 to 9 meters) from Vizcaino to Guerrero Negro.

I would say it is about time, because back when they made this part of the highway in 1973, they said its narrow width (to finish the project on budget) would "soon" be widened! 'Mañana' here = Fifty years later... ;)

6 to 9 meters is a tad bit more than 10 feet;)

I read it that they're proposing widening from the current 6 up to 9 (3 more meters, around 10 feet).


I don’t know why you are focusing on the numbers. The only important thing in the article is that the project is funded and the road will be widened! :bounce:

You guys are right my bad. Need coffee for better comprehension.

Sorry I wasn't more clear: widen the 6 meter road to 9 meters.

No you were crystal clear as was the article in spanish. It was my morning brain fog.

Honestly, people-- I do not understand this affection for Pacifico (nada más).

The flavor's OK, but it's the only beer I've ever drunk that consistently gives me a headache-- something weird about the formulation, I suspect. :barf:

Nice to hear they are widening that stretch of road.

Did you follow the recommended dosage? Surely it must be printed on the side of the bottle! :?:

x3 - I know this is off-topic but I gotta say I've tasted some skunky bottled Pacifico. It's at the bottom of my list.

:lol: you gotta tough it out, its what the baja hipster aficionados drink...but its gotta be in a bottle!
personally they all taste good to me;)

About that road construction....

AKgringo - 9-9-2022 at 10:18 AM

Having a shoulder in addition to the pavement would be a nice upgrade, but does anyone think they will be hauling in loads of rock to create a suitable sub-grade?

From what I have seen in other places in Baja, I think that they will likely just use whatever dirt the road is passing through and push it up to create a soft, unstable shoulder.

The Baja Fog was a gag reply to Chippy... but since you want to take it to the side bar:
So, you guys like Corona over Pacifico??? GAG ME!

I like most Mexican beers, but Corona is one I have not enjoyed since I was teenager in San Felipe and thought they were great, in 1975.
Dos Equis, Tecate Light are my other favorites, with Pacifico... which is best on tap! Victoria, Bohemia, Modelo, and Mexicali are all okay, too.
