Mazatlan Bypass is Open

I am driving north today with another car that has to leave Mexico. When I got to Mazatlan, I found the bypass (libriemento) open. Instead of 30-60 minutes to get thru Mazatlan, it only took 15 minutes from south to north. The cuota was a HUGE 41 pesos, money well spent.

FINALLY......I think it took nearly 10 years Playaboy.

Hopefully they will get the Jala to PV Cuota open next.

I get PV. I take it Jala means Jalisco ? Not knowing. Confused. Starting to happen more often now along with this drooling thing as I approach 65. Jajajaja.

Jala is the town on highway # 15 where the new quota road starts.

Thanks Playboy we will be taking this soon.

Have they been working on it for a while already?

Approximately 3 years.

I think it is getting close as the off ramps and toll booths have recently been constructed.

CB, Is that the same Highway we take to Tepic, and veer off to PV?

Yes it is. The new part is from Jala straight to PV bypassing that slow 200. Probably cut 1 - 2 hours off the trip from here to PV.

Would back tracking to the turn off, save time over the last trip we made from Agua Milpa to the coast be faster?

Probably a bit and the drive would be much more pleasant versus the 200.
