They're reporting that the area where the highway collapsed is part of the caldera of an ancient, significantly eroded volcano.

Maybe it is the edge of a giant meteor crater?
Did they not know this was a bad place to build a road in 1967-70?

David _ Not sure if you are "dissing" Mexico's choice of repairing the damage. Many places in California and the rest of the USA are connected by
highways that should have never be built "there"

No, I am 'dissing' the new excuses they have been giving since the collapse: earthquake (weeks before and not new here), rain (we are in a drought),
now a volcano (from 15 million years ago)!
I was just making a joke... next they will blame an asteroid!

I have it on good authority that it is Bush's fault.

I love it. Just like Devil's Slide south of Pacifica on the Alta California coast.
We still get belly laughs in the office about the "Volcano" explanation (all of us are Geologists)!
Thank you Mother Nature!

Seems like any semi-circular landform is called a crater now...?
I have heard some say the Bay of San Luis Gonzaga was an old volcano, due to its shape...
Not far off is Isla San Luis, and that is no doubt a crater half in the sea.

They have carved inland to make room for "temporary?" by pass

Temporary - as in 'until it slides down the hill again'. There are several places along the road where you can see that over the years they have
'rerouted' the roadway. This will be another, I guess.

Route by dirtbike?
Hi folks,
I live in Arizona but want to do some weekend trips down to Coyote Cal's in Erendira in June and July. I'll be storing a XR650L by the San Diego
airport.
Any recommended routes besides the established by-pass? Looking for dirt routes and any tips or things to do over the weekend.
Thanks!

See Wilardguy's post on first page of this thread for reference to the san jose de la zorra dirt road out of La Mission.

There are many dirt roads in the hills between Hwy. 1 and Hwy. 3, east of Cantamar/ Puerto Nuevo... Popular with motos and 4WDs.
Here is a trip page on one of the routes over the hills: http://vivabaja.com/305/
Recommend you get a Baja California Almanac topo map book to find trails to ride.
One big source of motorcycle runs in Baja is Kacey Smith's GPS guide (2 volumes): http://bajagpsguide.com
