Except for the road to Maneadero. The dirt patches in the pot-holes have been washed out and it's bad. I mean......BAD.
It's now called the Ivan Stewart Highway.

At least the dirt was only in the potholes. Just thinking of the mess South of Maneadero, where there are miles of dirt bypasses. It had rained just
before we went through earlier in the month. Mud and more mud.

he's refering to the road widening going on south of maneadero. the rain damaged roads/bridges are coming along and the bypasses are paved and as good
or better than what washed away..... go figure

well, must say that is good news... and really pretty good on folks that work on the roads and bridges down here.. sorry about the other...
the rain and the trucks turn pot holes into something else real quick.. up here on the old road south of Rosarito... one new stretch just before Primo
Tapia was done in "concrete"... that should stay for a while... the asphalt just gets "chewed" up..

I seem to recall a good deal of dirt bypasses. I agree that the bridge bypasses are really no problem- they are paved. But, where it's jsut road
work, lotsa dirt. And, as someone mentioned elsewhere, inasmuch as they are re-aligning and re-egineering the road, there's a great deal of earth
being moved. It's not just a widening project. I also got stuck in an almost half hour stop where they were tearing down a hillside.
