Default Rains Close Baja's North-South Highway at KM 155 Ensenada

Anyone driving north Monday should take note:



ENSENADA BC 1 DE SEPTIEMBRE DE 2013 (AFN).- La Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes (SCT) delegación Baja California, dio a conocer que, por las intensas lluvias registradas en el sur del municipio de Ensenada, se encuentra suspendido el tránsito vehicular por la carretera Transpeninsular, para quienes se dirigen al Sur de la entidad y hacia Baja California Sur.

Los problemas en la red carretera se ubican en el tramo de los vados, en los kilómetros 155.7 a la altura de San Agustín y en el 180.3 de Cataviña, del tramo Lázaro Cárdenas a Punta Prieta, donde se presentan escurrimientos con tirantes superiores a 1.50 metros y no existe posibilidad de usar rutas alternas.

El tránsito está suspendido desde las 18:00 horas del sábado, el vado es una losa de concreto y se espera que los daños solo sean depósito de azolves, por lo que en el sitio se encuentra el superintendente del tramo a la espera de que las condiciones mejoren y se pueda restablecer el tránsito, informó la SCT vía comunicado.

ENSENADA BC , September 1, 2013 - The Secretary of Communications and Transportation in Baja California reported that due to the intense rains south of Ensenada, transit is suspended on the Transpeninsular Highway for those heading southbound ftpm the state to Baja California Sur.

The problems with the highway network are located in the stretch of washes at kilometers 155.7, at San Agustín and at 180.3 in Cataviña, on the stretch between Lázaro Cárdenas and Punta Prieta, where there are pools of water more than 5 feet deep and there are not alternative routes.

Traffic is suspended from 6PM Saturday. The wash is a concrete slab and it is hoped the damage is only silt deposits. The supervisor of the area is hoping that the conditions improve and they can reestablish traffic flows, reported the Secretary via a communique.

Sure thing. Not my content. If the article was in English more holiday travelers and websites would have seen it. It all helps. Safe and dry travels!

Of course not.
