The road construction progress has several threads here on Nomad, dating back to 2008. As someone who actually documents the progress year by year, I find it amusing when, out of the blue, I am suddenly "wrong" with my 9 years of observations documenting the end of pavement advances. Those figures show the rate as I have stated. That the rate of change may happen was never questioned by me. I said it would be done sooner IF the rate changed. So far, the rate is still unchanged.

The highway has been paved about 60 miles from Puertecitos over the past 9 years (Spring 2007 to Spring 2016). 60/9 = 6.7 miles per year.

Approx. 20 miles, using the bypass that cuts 3 miles of the distance, to go. 20/6.7 = 3 years... IF THE RATE DOESN'T CHANGE.


You make it sound like you are the only one traveling that road. Got news for you buddy. Some of us travel it 5-6 times a year not once every 5 years. You want to argue with BCSNoticias...send them a letter. After all that was the subject of this thread,... NOT YOU.

DT has it right....but you are beyond help.

You know what is hilarious is that I have never contested what the article said. It might get done this year. Ralph just had to mention my past documenting the rate as if that was the final word from me on the date. I clearly said 2018 or 2019 IF THE RATE DOESN'T CHANGE.... but it very well might change. That's the future... the undiscovered country.

Does anyone know how many bridges are being constructed? They more than paving are the critical path to completion.

Going to be interesting to see how the "new" section of highway stands up to commercial vehicle use. Two years ago north of Gonzaga it was already starting to pothole and show cracks and fractures

Build roads and not have any preventative maintenance plans seem to be the norm in Baja
