San Diego to Puerto Escondido
May 25, 2012 - Time/Miles/Condition
Neil Ablitt

We made a quick trip down to pick up a boat and trailer and get it back to the states asap: down averaged 67/mph and 16 miles/gal – back w/trailer 33/mph and 8 miles/gal.

Travel times are for down trip – times almost double coming back up.

It does appears new road construction standards require shoulders and 3 lane bridges – a much needed improvement Border to Ensenada center – 70 miles – 1 hr 20 min.

Toll road construction at K 46 to 52 – one lane – well marked with flagmen.

Ensenada to El Rosario – 145 miles – 3 hrs 20 min. Major highway cut project south of Santo Tomas completed – the new road has shoulders and eliminates multiple curves. K 90 – 96 equipment on site getting ready for major repaving – some pot holes

El Rosario to Guerro Negro – 222 miles – 4 hrs. K 215 – 219 some pot holes also at K 265 - 270 K 72 – 85 (after Bahia LA turn-off) – new paving construction – you’ll drive on dirt – just go slow. K 52 short stretch with pot holes.
