Post Hurricane Norbert Road report for Baja

This road report just submitted to us from one of our readers, Lorne Reiter, who just drove down the entire transpenisular highway 1 of Baja California. Her report follows as she wrote it:

Norbert had little effect on the transpeninsular highway. Aside from the usual rock falls south of Loreto that have already been cleaned up and a couple of minor construction washouts leading onto the two bridges east of Insurgentes, Norbert's visit did little damage to the highway.
Our trip from San Diego to San Jose del Cabo took two days, starting Tuesday Oct 14. We stayed overnight in Guerrerro Negro and the hotel was nearly empty. Traffic was thin compared to other years. The beaches south of Mulege were empty...first time I have seen that in many years!
There is road widening and resurfacing north of Catavina and again north of Loreto with possible delays for single lane traffic. Constitucion is limited to one lane each way as the main highway in town is being rebuilt. Other than these three projects the highway is better than ever.

Lorne we really appreciate submissions such as yours as many people are preparing to drive the baja and have been asking about the road conditions.

People you may also want to suscribe to our updates so that you regulay will be infromed as to what the roads, weather, fishing and other reports contain.

Thank you again for helping us have more up todate information concerning traveling Baja!
