The project started, and although the Delegate of the SCT gave no end date, said that for this year, with 100 million pesos budget

vehicles being diverted to Loreto .
"We are you working on shortening is La Purisima - San Ignacio , and now we have budget for this year, finishing 2 flights more, and we are including
bridges in the stream of Santo Domingo and 2 road sections, we still [...] would be like one macrolibramiento, we go along the stream of Santo Domingo
, we reach outto San Juanico , and then go to San Ignacio. "
Gutierrez Magana said the project is now complete, from the executive to its environmental impact; for now, said no end date, but this year, they have
100 million pesos budget.
"Everything, the executive project, registration with Hacienda, their respective environmental impact, since they are exempt from that is a road in
operation [...] We are expanding and modernizing, right now we have 100 million pesos, go slowly with few resources are liberating ".
In other projects, the Delegate of the SCT briefly named the 3 projects that are scheduled for La Paz , one of them towards the exit from the airport
south of the city.
"We are working on 3 warrants in La Paz, which is the beltway East, intercity and north, and one is the one that communicates Ciudad Constitucion,
plans and other airport."

We've all been watching the black death creep southwest of San Ignacio - it's only a matter of time until it all connects.

They have been working on the road out of San Ignacio to the Laguna for over 30 years and they have paved only 30 miles. There is about 100 miles yet
to pave to La Purisima and I don't think 100 million pesos will cover it, that's only about 6 million dollars.
If they don't work any faster than what they did on Hwy 5 it'll take about 16 years to complete.

I (mistakenly) thought the highway to La Purisma was going to begin in San Ignacio and go South on the West Coast. This road makes little sense for
folks traveling to La Paz and beyond because if you have already passed Conception, you may as well keep on going to and past Loreto.

The way that translation reads... La Purisima north to San Ignacio.
However, the road is already paved to San Juanico via Las Barrancas (which bypasses La Purisima). The road south from San Ignacio is also paved a ways
(30 miles?) at TW mentioned.
Anyway, this paved route down the west side of the mountains was envisioned as far back as 1973... and that would cut over 100 miles off the run to la
Paz and eliminate two steep mountain grades.

saving 100 miles
OK
but
no view of Tres Virgines
no bakery stop (Santa Rosalia)
no lunch at El Patron (Mulege)
no beer stop and a dip in the water (Requeson)
no overnight at hotel Oasis (Loreto)
did I mention the heavenly breakfast there?
no view of Sierra la Giganta
no lunch at Vista al Mar (no sat, no map, no nada)
no tienda Ligüi (best cigar prices in Baja - Hoja de Mexicali)
give that up for a trip through desert hell?
maybe the truckies like it

This road is not being considered for tourist traffic. I for one, would love to see a whole lot of truck and bus traffic diverted away from the
current highway one along the East side!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

True and the old road thru Santa Rosalia will become a nice tourist side trip for southbound travelers. And the west route will have local businesses
flourish. And we loose that great dirt section However the beach route thru Datil survives.

The new road from san Ignacio to the lagoon was built narrow, and built on minimally prepped sub grade,.... Where is the modern "wide" highway that
can handle truck weights? I like the parts of hwy 1 where they have improved it with wider lanes and wider shoulders.
The road attempts across the salt flats have been pathetic,... Are they going to spend real money to build a causeway and provide adequate drainage?
The new road currently requires driving thru san Ignacio square and narrow residential streets,... Does the town really want a parade of heavy trucks
on their sleepy streets? Someone needs to build a bypass.

Can you imagine leaving San Ignacio for Scorp Bay and making it there in 1.5 hours? Landowners in San Juanico are gonna make some serious cash as
property values rise.

Less than halfway from San Ignacio to the Laguna, there is a road heading south near El Alamo (AAA map). I drove that road two years ago, and there
were survey crews working on it then, It also appeared that there were some places being set up as possible batch plant/construction sites.
That would bypass the salt flats, and the dirt they piled up and paved over on the grade down to the flats. I predict a short life for that pavement!
I did not find the thread, but I remember reading on this forum that there is a bypass planned west of San Ignacio to handle the traffic.

With sea level rising and predicted to keep rising, makes more sense to pave the inland route, instead of paving the salt flat route

Woody,
Fill the silt beds? Great idea, but I will let the nomad road engineers chime in with suggestions....
Ken,
The silt was my nemesis on my 690 ....surgery a week later ....
