I put it in quotes because that is what their sign said.
Never stopped their either only because I would never stop at a place that advertized like that

The road crew did some work to my Jeep last week, and they told me that they would pave all the way to Gonzaga Bay within 2 months. They are now at
Hwy 5 - KM 317. They also told me that after the crew builds to Gonzaga Bay, they will move all of their operations to Laguna Chapala, and they will
begin paving north to Gonzaga Bay.
You heard it here first!

Gonzaga Bay within 2 months
That makes it for July.
I post info here months ago saying this would happen, from the information I got from the engineers I talked to.
So much for the replies I got on that topic, saying it wouldnt happen.
Thanks for the update. You made my day!

They are working great on a few miles and might even be able to open part of that by July, but there are quit a few miles they haven't started on. If
they keep at it, maybe the end of the year? (my observations from last week)

I guess I am one of those who wished it WOULDN'T happen but I certainly understand that for many it is a good thing. As it finishes, there will not
be a shore fish swimming larger than a hand sized trigger along this entire stretch...that is until the last corvina is gone.
As I have witnessed first hand, the Mexicali locals will come down with the easy access and drain it dry. Which is not an insult or slight to them as
it happens in every country where progress takes its toll and there is money/food to be found.
At least the coast is clear from Calamajue down to L.A. Bay...for now.

I've got to go with Lou on this one.
I drove it last June and it ended 18 miles south of Puertecitos. That's 7 miles in 11 months or approx. 1.6 miles/month. If they really step up and
double their efforts (in the hot Baja summer sun) to 3 miles/month, they could reach Gonzaga for Christmas!!
That's a little later than July.

You have to realize that I was speaking with the Construction crew and not the Engineers of the road project.

NO WAY
The work on the road is in its FOURTH year they finished- FOUR six mile/ ten k projects- and in TWO MONTHS they are going to finish THREE six mile
projects NO WAY . I know the mountains are behind them but they still have three big river beds to cross it will take at least 2 more years to finish
to Gonzaga and an other 2 or 3 to hwy 1. Do not listen to the rumors they know not what they speak.
