That's what happens when you believe a politician! I remember in 1974 hearing the highway would be paved south from San Felipe from the owner of Nuevo
Mazatlan real soon.

And before they built the new bridge west of S Ignacio there were places that the road was less than 16' wide from white line to white line. Big
issue since the semis could not pass each other. I followed one and his dual tires were on top of the white and yellow line. In that location the
guard rail was heavily scraped.

from San Quintin on south to San Ignacio. |

One of the many bridges getting built. They're just plowing straight through the mountains literally in a straight line with practically no curves and
no elevation change. Definitely no environmental impact study done.
Last week.

Given the number of people and and the amount of equipment working, the road will be completed sooner than 2-3 years. They are moving relatively
fast.

I think the new hwy down to Gonzaga Bay and beyond is among the best done in Baja. A lot of environmental study complaints or challenges are done to
hold up a project by those that may be affected by it in ways not to do with the environment.
