A twelve days, which is one year after the collapse of a section of the scenic road Tijuana-Ensenada, Tuesday Dec. 16, will be reopened to road
traffic authorities said Federal Roads and Bridges (Capufe) and Secretariat of Communications and Transportation (SCT).
Among the collateral damage left by the collapse of the motorway is the death of 15 people in separate car accidents, a worker who died at the scene
of the reconstruction, hundreds of injured and millions of dollars in property damage resulting from mishaps people.
The statement refers to the event will be at 12:00 at kilometer 93 of the highway where last December 28 the collapse occurred. It is estimated that
the total cost of the project was 900 million pesos, including taxes, and work the Makro executed the construction.
Governor Francisco Vega de Lamadrid be present at the ceremony, while the authorities of the Federal Government to visit the area include the
Secretary of Communications and Transport (SCT), Gerardo Ruiz Esparza, and the Director of Federal Roads and Bridges (Capufe) Benito Neme Sastré.
Both authorities stated repeatedly that the road would be ready last September 15 but because a slight slip in the scene was recorded was impossible
to fulfill the promise.
Background
In early 2013 the cracks at different point on the road began to move faster. This aroused the suspicion of researchers from the Department of Earth
Sciences of Ensenada Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education (Cicese), Luis Mendoza Garcilaso and Sergio Vazquez, who started field trips
to the susceptible areas. Other researchers of the institution with a history of how the area behaves.
Although the road is ready to receive both light and heavy traffic, researchers, engineers and architects recommend to the authorities that are
constructed alternate routes to get to Ensenada, because the seven critical points having the scenic road from San Miguel to Salsipuedes not withstand
an earthquake.
Losses
The mayor of Ensenada, Gilberto Hirata Chico, has estimated economic losses in the order of $ 100 million, according to reports from the economic
sectors that converge in the city, especially those engaged in the capture and export of live marine species entrepreneurs.
In this regard the fisheries sector through the fishing camera, he said economic losses of $ 10,000 per day for exporters who had to modify schedules
and time and risk passing the quality of production.
As part of citizens' actions, the local MP, Armando Reyes Ledesma days ago we began a series of demonstrations at the tollbooth of San Miguel, as
leverage to accelerate Capufe authorities reconstruction work.
For his part, representative of CONATRAM in Ensenada, Leopoldo Fragozo, issued several statements regarding the economic situation of transport sector
Tecate has to travel to reach your destination in Tijuana.
The owners of tourist camps Saldamando and Salsipuedes, also spoke at the time of the economic problems that left them closing the scenic and Sempra
Energy and Z-Gas, who must encircle free to transport their employees and other inputs.

"Although the road is ready to receive both light and heavy traffic, researchers, engineers and architects recommend to the authorities that are

an earthquake."
My advice is to stay away from this road during earthquake season.
