The more RecientesLos the MulaSondeoReportajesNota hairs RojaRatifica CAPUFE
700 thousand cubic meters of rocks will be used in the repair of the scenic highway Tijuana-Ensenadamaterial that you will draw two stony banks
located 1.5 kilometres from the collapse, said the director of infrastructure of Capufe, Mauricio Sánchez Woodworth. During a tour with Capufe, Benito
Neme Sastre, CEO on this Thursday evening, both officials unveiled the work recorded an advance of 37 percent and the total cost will be $ 650 million
pesos. Instead, Benito Neme relied on that it will be a safe road, but not guaranteed that future other landslides will occur by natural causes. "They
are five stages as they have divided the work, I would like to say that we are in time and we are doing a great work which without doubt one will
allow that it is follow along this road with an extraordinary view in a safe manner", said. While the city of Ensenada asked the federal Government
reopened roads in August, when we celebrate the Festival of harvest time, Neme tailor warned that they not pressured the construction company Makro,
because she would be at risk to users, the opening is scheduled for September 15. "We can not be subjected to pressures, most importantly for Capufe
security is for those goods vehicles travelling on our roads, us if we were in possibilities of open days would open it provided security measures

Vega de Lamadrid said, official preferred not to speak about this request because "today, the road is Capufe". In general, Sánchez Woodworth explained
that the work consists of five stages, from the construction of berms, restitution of the embankment, improvement of the land, rockfill and operation
of the filter Gallery. Most of the building rises with native large stone of the same view. Although the road opens in September, the total
construction will remain after in April 2015, with the construction of the filter Gallery, which will attract the water that enters, by the sea, both
the surface to prevent it from accumulating and causing another collapse. Among other ads mentioned that they will invest more than 300 million
dollars in maintenance in the Tijuana-Ensenada scenic bearing surface, as well as the Tecate - Rumorosa. .

I originally felt that the September 15 (or, originally the end of August) was a VERY optimistic deadline.
My personal estimate was mid 2015, based on other road work done throughout Baja.
BTW...thanks for the update, Bob!

What???
Always build in an escape clause, just in case:

I've been down there in Jan., March, April and June and all 4 times the toll had gone up at least 5 cent each time. The last time it was $2.55 US. In
Jan I think it was either $2.30 or $2.35 US.

It goes up occasionally anyway. It's a federal thing.....a cash cow...just like Pemex.

Came really close to being in an accident last week on the old road. I have never seen such boneheads driving on any stretch of road before. You would
think it's a race.

That's why I came south through Tecate today. I started a thread about the trip.

The detour using the old road into Ensenada starts at La Mision. I've taken it three times. No problems, traffic moved smoothly and the pavement is in
good shape. Nothing to be concerned about.

Sounds like the only way to do it is through Tecate. I had two harrowing trips southbound and northbound through the detour. Northbound was daytime
which made it a little better. Being older the glare from oncoming lights bothered me at night. Best Regards to Nomad Friends. Keep on Truckin'
