New Road From Tecate HWY Around Ensenada?


Any one have any info. I have been told by the locals between Ensenada and Tecate that it is part of a 4 lane road being built from Tecate, bypassing Ensenada, and heading South. See blue line on poor photo

South but not Hwy 1 south, the "Libramiento Ensenada" will go from the Ensenada-Tecate road to meet with the Ensenada-Ojos Negroas road. It will be a great way to avoid Ensenada totaly say if youre going to Laguna Hanson or San Felipe.
I don't have a map of it but it will be like this

Thanks FDT. Do you know if the State has a website explaining their major road/infrastructure projects?

Thanks, Ferna.
Let me see...Merging into the Ojos Negro highway will put southbound traffic back onto Hwy 1 just south of the Big Gigante/Soriana unless they plan to continue a new road south. Gawd..I hope they do. That would be a mess although it will relieve pressure within the city.

Take a closer look at that billboard Ferna... that proposed road is heading beyond the Ojos Negros highway and towards Santo Tomas (the blurry image shows it east of Maneadero... which is well south of Hwy. 3, and going south of the entrance to San Carlos Canyon... This could be GOOD!!!

This board is up on the intersection of the new road and the Tecate HWY.
Take a look.
As I went by you could not stop because of the construction. Thus the image - driving, windshield, etc Would be nice to know timeframes etc

No David, it does not go to Hwy 1 or Santo Tomas.

Nope, It will end way east of the city, nowere close to Hwy 1 and no Soriana that I know of there, maybe when all the housing starts.

OK...I'm lost and confused.
When it hits the road to Ojos, does it cross and continue on it's new path or does it join the road, as in merge, and follow it past the cement plant, along the river to its end as I described.

Ferna, the billboard is what I am looking at... the 'proposed' road shown on it is well south of Hwy. 3 and straight east of Punta Banda/ Maneadero.

That billboard map is oriented with east on top (not north).

With the Colonet port, a highway around Ensenada IS needed... and it would be great for everyone else, too!

And another detour worth noting


The el Tigre road, connecting Mex 3 in Valley Guadalupe with Mex 1 south of la Mision, has been blacktopped. Used to be a washboard mess...Now smoooth. :biggrin:

It's no longer necessary to drive to Ensenada and then back up Mex 3 to the valley.

I don't know, David. That doesn't look like Punta Banda. The Spit, with all the expropriated houses is missing. The profile of the land is wrong for PB. There's no sign of life anywhere. It makes no sense.

I had heard that they were working on a route around Ensenada for the Colonet traffic and assumed this was it. Maybe they are just doing it in phases and it will eventually continue south towards Santo Tomas.

That would be a very good thing...
