And therein lies the problem. Fast is not necessarily good, when it comes to roads.

I am not giving you a hard time, Shari. You are only reporting what you see.

But it is truly impressive how long they spend on getting the subsurface of the pavement in good condition over here on 15 and 15D. THAT'S the key.

And the new sections of 15 are coming with something unheard of in Mexico; ACTUAL EMERGENCY PARKING LANES AND SHOULDERS!!!

Good grief, is this really Mexico?

the fast progress I referred to was the chewing up of the old potholed "pavement"...I guess this is the dark before the dawn! I dont care how bad it is right now...the fact that they are working hard on it means it will be lovely soon...I heard 2-3 months.

We had the distinct pleasure of checking out the road construction ourselves and it does appear that they are spending considerable time and effort to make sure the road subsurface on the sections they are currently redoing is done right.

The parts of the road that are potholed are as bad as advertised. The parts that are nice are very nice. Yin and yang. Jekyll and Hyde. 60 or 6. :lol:
