September 6, 2007Cabo San Lucas to TijuanaVarious Insider Readers
Roads in Baja Sur appear to have suffered little from the passage of Hurricane Henriette. We have not yet received detailed road reports from readers, but here is what we have learned so far.
Highway 1 - La Paz to East Cape is open and passable in a car. There are many places where debris has washed into the road and a couple of vados that must be forded. The construction around the bridge work is the most difficult, mud and tire ruts. This was being worked on when we passed.
La Paz to Cabo San Lucas via Highway 19 (Todos Santos) Now open, there were some closures initially at the Bordo in La Paz due to flooding. This is now open. (They are currently constructing a bridge to remedy this problem) Some wash into the road in several places. Road crews are on it.
La Paz to La Ventana - No Report
Puerto Los Cabos in San Jose del Cabo is cut off due to flooding.
La Paz to Pichilingue - Some washouts near Balandra - watch the shoulder!
La Paz to Constitucion - Cars were being escorted across 2' of water yesterday near the la Paz Airport, only the boldest of drivers crossed. This section is open today. Much debris on the roadway. Large sharp rocks took out one Insider's tire. Road is OK all the way to Constitucion.
Constitucion to Loreto - Sketch reports coming to us, one report says roads are passable, another thought no.. Some flooding around Constitucion.
Loreto to Santa Rosalia - No Report
Santa Rosalia to San Diego - No problems.
