Road closure HWY1
Woosh posted this on Talk Baja. I know nothing else
ENSENADA BC 1 DE SEPTIEMBRE DE 2013 (AFN).- La Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes (SCT) delegación Baja California, dio a conocer que, por las
intensas lluvias registradas en el sur del municipio de Ensenada, se encuentra suspendido el tránsito vehicular por la carretera Transpeninsular, para
quienes se dirigen al Sur de la entidad y hacia Baja California Sur.
Los problemas en la red carretera se ubican en el tramo de los vados, en los kilómetros 155.7 a la altura de San Agustín y en el 180.3 de Cataviña,
del tramo Lázaro Cárdenas a Punta Prieta, donde se presentan escurrimientos con tirantes superiores a 1.50 metros y no existe posibilidad de usar
rutas alternas.
El tránsito está suspendido desde las 18:00 horas del sábado, el vado es una losa de concreto y se espera que los daños solo sean depósito de azolves,
por lo que en el sitio se encuentra el superintendente del tramo a la espera de que las condiciones mejoren y se pueda restablecer el tránsito,
informó la SCT vía comunicado.

ENSENADA BC , September 1, 2013 - The Secretary of Communications and Transportation in Baja California reported that due to the intense rains south
of Ensenada, transit is suspended on the Transpeninsular Highway for those heading southbound ftpm the state to Baja California Sur.
The problems with the highway network are located in the stretch of washes at kilometers 155.7, at San Agustín and at 180.3 in Cataviña, on the
stretch between Lázaro Cárdenas and Punta Prieta, where there are pools of water more than 5 feet deep and there are not alternative routes.
Traffic is suspended from 6PM Saturday. The wash is a concrete slab and it is hoped the damage is only silt deposits. The supervisor of the area is
hoping that the conditions improve and they can reestablish traffic flows, reported the Secretary via a communique.

Maybe they used Hwy 5 to get past all areas?

Not unheard of for these area to flood. As the article says, they are cement culverts that should be cleaned up quickly after the water recedes,
which it probably already has. Closure was yesterday at 6:00.

I do not recall this sort of total closure in all the years I've driven Mex1. There were a few times when we just knew we had to pull over and wait.
It even happened to us once smack in the middle of El Rosario.

We were stuck for more then a 2 weeks when the rains took out the bridges in S/Q. I think it was 79 or 80, road was wiped out above El Rosario. There
were some travelers trapped between S/Q and El Rosario. We turned around got all the gas we could hold and went surfing. Almost went south and flew
home after 2 weeks. Good times!!

So, as I understand the article, it is for those headed South.
I just posted asking if the highway is closed going North.

Would imagine the "water" would be as deep going north, as it is going south ... in most cases

Back when I was working and vacationing in Baja the road closures were always northbound. (usually got me an extra 4 days off)

Think about it for a minute Blanca. Why would it be closed in only one direction? Now I suspect the road closure/opening will depend on weather. No
more rain.. It will open soon.
