You don't want to drive on hot oil or fresh asphalt... makes a mess to clean.

Have not been over there to look but is it possible that they put the asphalt down then a layer of crushed rock like we do chip seal in the states
not dirt... then they come back with a seal coat usually..
of course this is Mexico road building 101 so anything could be possible.
flurry of activity early this morning and now calm and quiet.. must be breakfast burrito time...
still a big stack of pipe behind the malecon thats gonna be buried somewhere close to the road or in it..
just another day in paradise...

Progress report - yesterday they tore up the road from Sauls to the river, liaded a new 12 inch waste line and brought in more dirt. 7am tp 9pm.
Today they are trenching again for 2 water supply lines. Water will be off until 7pm tonight. Rumor is this will be a concrete road.

Night and day pouring of the concrete curbs the last couple of weeks.. Looks like several layer of asphalt and roadbase to seal the roadway... some
concrete pavement already in at the furthermost east end ... they were pouring concrete pavement in front of Saul's grocery last night...
Looks to be 6 inches thick or so,,, no wire or rebar visible... It will be great when they are done over there so the back up alarms will not be
almost 24/7 along with the big construction generator and floodlights
by the way, a string of street lights is being installed... we can only hope they are led and shine down not floodlight style

Yes, slab from Sauls to my place is poured. They worked all night and still going strong. 4 layers of compacted road base, then thin layer of
asphaltic liquid, then 6inch concrete slab. Between the generators, back up signals and musica, this colonia got no sleep and I am blocked in once
again  looks like they are doing 100 yard sections, so probably another sleepless
night in Mulege. They are cutting in the control joints now, roller is warming up, windows are rattling, dogs are howling.....but, this will be nice
when complete and not as much dust. Hope a tope or 2 are in the master plan. Foreman said they want all the concrete work done by may 10th., I think
he meant from Sauls to the river, but not sure.
The waste pipes, 2 - 12 inch dia. and a 6 inch water supply line are in and each casa and lot has their own covered access pit, state of the art
valves and fittings. Impressive!
As I type, they are placing the generator and lights about 6 feet from my bedroom lol.
