Work on the Fourlane About to Start

And it will continue throughout the year. Yikes!

So, after months… years! of complaints about the bad conditions on this important and busy highway, the SICT (Infrastructure, Communications, and Transportation Ministry) head Marco Antonio Gutiérrez announcedthe approval of the federal budget of US $2.9 million dollars for the first phase of periodic maintenance covering 8.6 miles and US $3.4 million for a second phase of 19.88 miles.

Another US $750,000 for horizontal signage covering 553 miles and US $110,000 for 357 vertical signage pieces, US $75,000 for 2257.22 ft. of protective barriers; US $140,000 for routine maintenance of 165 bridges and US $22,500,000 will also be allocated for the overpass at the FONATUR roundabout in San José del Cabo.

Meanwhile, to carry out repair work on the Transpeninsular highway, teams will be created to begin work in mid-May, first on the most affected sections but will continue with ongoing maintenance work until December.
