TECATE ROAD / HWY 3 CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
By Dennis at Baja*****s



There has been commendable progress on the road. As of my south to north trip yesterday, the work begins at the Las Palmas Bridge. That's about 45 miles from Sauzal down in the valley. The bridge surface is really rough; a combination of asphalt and concrete. It looks as though they're trying to remove the surface. Anyway...go very slow.

Between that point and Tecate, there is work here and there for mostly short distances, the longest being about two miles.
All in all, there can't be anymore than five miles total of road surface construction and work on the shoulders far exceeds that.
The dirt surface is hard and relatively smooth and the drive is easy.

One note of caution...when you see in the near distance a surface change, asphalt to dirt....old asphalt to new etc...slow down to a crawl. The change will have a three inch verticle rise or fall. It's like running into a curb.

That's the way it was yesterday. No guarantees on tomorrow.
