New Airport road south of Todos Santos


Is the new airport road open?
I really did a search prior to posting.

Not yet, looks to close to opening. This was as of two days ago. You are talking about the toll road north of CSL to SJD?

That would be so great. You have been drive to Todos from near the airport, but, it's a perilous road.

I need a map! :light:

New Todos Santos airport road??

Not a new airport... but a new road to the Los Cabos Int'l. Airport?

Over the mountain like the Naranjas Road, in place of it?

I do not want to start anything here. DK, why do you need a map? Do you fly in to out out of Los Cabos? It's not on google or bling? How does this affect you or is it another data point?
The folks that live there seem to know about it.

Not officially open but people have been using it. It goes from Diamante just north of Cabo San Lucas on the road to Todos Santos directly to the Los Cabos airport, eliminating the need to drive through Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo, if coming from Todos Santos.

Obviously it would be helpful to have a map to know if the road was an advantage for travelers depending on their location. At commute times it provides a huge relief for people wanting to visit Todos from San Jose and vice versa. It is a beautiful drive.

That will probably change don't you think? I'm guessing this is a paved east/west (more or less) road running from Los Cabos airport to the Pacific coast north of the Cabo urban sprawl.

Right?

If so, won't the land along the road be parceled up and sold for whatever someone wants to build?

Thank you... very helpful... So, not over the mountain range, just parallel to Hwy. 1 between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas... but inland avoiding cities and traffic? Sort of a Libramiento Los Cabos? Is it a toll road?

Yes, it is a bypass for people coming from La Paz and Todos Santos. It will be a toll road, I am told.

On Google Earth it shows a road turning off 19 just south of Los Verdes and connecting with 1D just north of SJD. Must be the one.

Wondering if that helped Bajahowodd find the new road on satellite images? I used Bing Maps/ Aerial & Bird's Eye view formats for that one. Bing has had newer satellite images than Google earth in many cases.

Google Street View is showing images from July 2009, when Highway 19 was still a 2-lane road. That might explain it!
