Baja Road Report September 27, 2004

I went to Constitucion today. The road only has two spots worth talking about. At km 15 before Insurrentes, Puent Reteraro, there is a detour, good condition. At km 222after Insurrentes they are still constructing a new bridge. They have created a cement batch plant to make the long reinforced concrete beams for the bridge. The detour is paved but 1 lane wide as opposed to the 4 lane road. The rest of the road is excellent." - Bob Martin

Baja Road Report Sept 7, 2004

Much of Baja Sur has received heavy rains at one time or another in the last week. 9/3 a large band of heavy rain, spun off from Hurricane Howard pass across central Baja from Santa Maria Bay to about Mulege. According to radar, rainfall could have been 3"-7" and localized resulted. Many of the vados have been flooded and road damage has resulted. Drivers should be cautious when driving in the rain or at night. These normally dry beds can turn into raging rivers at a moments notice.
Hwy 1 is now an important artery for Baja commerce and will be made "passable" shortly. But for first time Baja drivers you may find the definition of passable varies form that in the US.
