Road construction in Tijuana update:

I was told today that road construction in this area will continue for "at least 4 months."

Although I have experienced delays on the road to Playas from Zona Rio, I have managed to inch my way through eventually.

USE EXTREME CAUTION WHILE DRIVING WESTBOUND FROM TJ CITY WHEN APPROACHING THE PLAYAS EXIT.

The left westbound lane dead-ends into a concrete road barrier. If you are not alert, you will smack into the end of the barrier, which is not marked or flagged in any way, or veer into the oncoming traffic lane heading in the opposite direction. The third option (after muttering OH $#+T!) is to merge into the right-hand west-bound lane just as you approach the exit to Playas. Fortunately, I managed to accomplish the latter maneuver today on my way back from el Mirador today. I have no idea how anyone could possibly see this at night, or when the sun is shining in their eyes.

Please forward this to any hapless souls who may be using that road, as any traffic cones/warning lights indicating this situation may, or may not, be positioned appropriately.

They apparently contracted with the tooth fairy to do this project, because I know of no sane person who would route traffic in this manner.
