The “Bacheton” program, dedicated to addressing pothole issues, continues to make strides in Southern Baja. Recently, members of the Security Board and the head of the SICT (Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation) convened to discuss the progress of patch works being implemented along the federal highways throughout the state.
In a meeting held today, January 9th, it was announced that bids had been placed for the rehabilitation and conservation of five critical sections of the road network, aiming to enhance road safety and reduce risks for commuters.
Governor Víctor Castro emphasized that the challenges plaguing the highway network are receiving the attention they deserve. He reiterated the commitment to collaborate with the Federal Government to address these issues swiftly and efficiently. Initially, the focus will be on the sections most in need of repair, both to the north and south of the region.
The upcoming days will see an intensification of efforts, including milling and asphalt placement along various segments: 5 miles on the La Paz-Ciudad Constitución route (from kilometer 73 to 81), 3.2 miles on the Loreto-Santa Rosalía stretch (from kilometer 68 to 69.3 and from 189 to 193), 44 miles in the San Pedro-Todos Santos area (from kilometer 6.5 to 13), 2 kilometers on the Cabo San Lucas-La Paz highway starting at kilometer 5, and 6 miles in the San Pedro-Cabo San Lucas section (from kilometer 10 to 15.2 and from 118 to 121.8).
Governor Castro concluded by reminding everyone that this initiative is part of a national effort to improve road infrastructure, ensuring that the federal highways are maintained and rehabilitated to provide safer and more efficient routes for all citizens.
