Whoa,
Looks like traffic is being put off at the La Mision/La Fonda exit. Wonder what this will mean for business at that exit. Nice lady owns the Poco
Cielo hotel and George has his bar right there. Without through traffic business might be tight for a while.

No injuries; no earthquake
Don't know where the info came from but one of the moderators on the Punta Banda Bulletin Board posted this:
[moderator's note: no injuries. there was a truck that went into one of the sink holes but no injuries. no, this was not due to an earthquake. road
is closed in both directions. free road will undoubtedly have heavy traffic]

OK, so it looks like these buisnesses really won't be effected since everyone will pick up the free road at La Mision.

Engineer Mike, a question for you. This area has been unstable for a number of years now, due to the earthquakes in the area. There is quite a bit of
money going into the toll road funds and repair was way underway in the area that collapsed as recently as a week ago when I drove over that area and
it looked like the repair was going smoothly. Should they even have started repair on this area or looked for other alternatives since this last
collapse? Looking for your opinion as an Engineer. | Quote: | Originally posted by EngineerMike

Correct Doug... and Dra. that area has been unstable almost since the highway was built in the late '60's. I would say it's no more earthquake related
than just normal erosion of the land into the sea everywhere cliffs are along an ocean.
Also, the road to Guadalupe Valley from the El Tigre area has been paved a few years now. The road via San Jose de la Zorra is a LONG way to Guadalupe
from La Mision.

Here is street view from four years ago. First Northbound.
There is a "trucks keep right" sign that can be seen down in the hole in many of the after shots.
Looking southbound, the pole with the PV cell is right at the edge of the hole in the pictures.

Gov. Kiko Vega speaks on Hwy 1 damage
"Financial resources to fix the rupture and collapse of the toll road is not moot because it is an emergency , the governor said Francisco Vega de
Lamadrid. Present at the site of the sinking of the land, where the collapsed highway section , provided that the budgets of other works included not
adversely affected, because the federal government provides funds for emergency works and said it is an emergency.
It is said of one of the major highways of the country for its strategic and commercial tourist location, but what is issue to address is that the
solution is the best and the job done right .
He mentioned that fortunately have two alternate routes such as the federal free road Tijuana and El Tigre Ensenada -Tecate .
He said he worried about the impact this geological tourism close to the freeway and can cause failure , so he said he would meet with federal level
authorities to discuss the issue and solutions.
He said that it is a very serious case but fortunately there was no loss to regret , this thanks to the coordination of the authorities of the three
levels of government.
While the state government recommended the closure of the highway for safety, this was not observed by CAPUFE , so that said each participating
authority shall submit its report and then you could determine whether there was any responsibility or not, but ¨ after all ¨ went away with it .
The first is to facilitate vehicular traffic and we must all work together to ensure the safety of all who use the roads .
¨ It remains to get to work because we are in a critical situation ¨ and reiterated that the federal government offered all the help .
Takes advantage of the presence of media to inform the community of the use of alternate routes and who is not required to take road to abstain so as
not to saturate the path , while the situation is normalized."

Baja Toll Road Collapses South of Tijuana Causing FULL Road Closure
Overnight the Baja Toll Road south of La Fonda collapsed causing a full road closure south of the border. This will force officials to figure out a
solution, most likely via the free road.
BajaDock reported the following:
Apparently, the Toll Road has slide further, sometime during the night. Hope noone was hurt or worse. This will end the patching and force Mexico to
figure out long term routing, likely via Free Road. Construction on Free Road also caused delays. Red highlight on map, a few miles north of the
‘Nada toll booth is where the asphalt adventure is located.Coming south, Free Road access is at La Mision/La Fonda exit and rejoins hwy 1 just 400 yds
south of the Ensenada toll booth. It will only take you a few minutes longer, so enjoy the beautiful inland countryside.
The Scenic Road recorded four new sinkings this day, one of more than 60 inches in both directions of the road. The flaws have caused long lines of
cars, especially Tijuana to Ensenada, a 93 kilometer. Reported waiting up to half an hour to cross this stretch, since only one of the two lanes, the
low speed (right), has been enabled for the crossing. The subsidence in the two lanes of Tijuana to Ensenada already been repaired, but in the
opposite direction still continue to work. Complaints of drivers have been expected, especially because nobody tells them the state of the roads, but
they have to pay their full toll, despite the delays that this generates.

CAPUFE ignored the requests to close it, but now they're on Twitter crowing about how the preventive closure yesterday saved lives.
