Workers from the ministry of communications and transport (SCT) have been seen on the dirt road from La Ribera to Cabo Pulmo and have stated that the SCT is planning to begin working on a paved road from La Ribera to Cabo Pulmo. The project has been abandoned for over 20 years.
The road would connect La Ribera with San José del Cabo, through Las Barracas, Cabo Pulmo, Los Frailes, Boca del Salado and Las Vinoramas, and would benefit a number of ranches and small rural communities along the road, bringing drinking water and electricity. Hopefully the new road will remain scenic, with no constructions that block the gorgeous views and beaches.
