Almost true, from just south of the army checkpoint it is actually only a two lane road but new then the 4 lane begins 15 miles north of town. We did encounter still two miles of dirt road less than two weeks ago though, heading out in the morning for San Felipe, will report back...


Here it is... Just got back last night... Weather hot! Water warm! Just how I like it...

North to south.

Up to 7 miles north of the checkpoint they are working on the bridges on the west side of road.

New road begins two miles south of the checkpoint and runs for 10 miles, not to be expanded, that's it. Road, shoulder, drop off.

Becomes 4 lane for 18 miles to the Arches.

No dirt bypass at this time (but it's coming).

Lots of constuction at the Highway 3 & 5 interchange for an overhead bridge.




Haven't had a bad trip yet....

There is a very impressive amount of equipment and material there at the junction right now.
