They were forced to fix it or lose their concession. The SCT revealed publicly that the concessionaire was using 10 mm thick overlays to repair bad sections. Thanks for the update as last November the libre was in far better shape. I did time the last four or five trips on both roads and to the northern beach section of Mazatlan, the exit the free road was sixteen minutes slower. For just under twenty dollars? Another more expensive but worth it section of coast highway is between Cihuatlan and the entronque to Tecoman. The libre is simply awful.

The toll road between Rosarito and Otay Mesa is another section in poor shape. It has sharp bridge abutments, and rough cracked swales. But there are no worth-the-savings free alternatives.

We drove the Maxi-Pista in June. It was in perfectly fine shape. Normally we drive it several times a year, and it sure beats the free road. Class A with no tow, both tolls were under 200p.

One concessionaire that almost had their insurance pulled was MAXI-PISTA

Example

Culiacan to Mazatlan. If you elect to take a Maxipista, slow down for your own safety. Another Maxi-Pista had the same crunching edge bridge abutments and crumbling sections.

One Capufe section of autopista is the southerly third of the tres tramos between Ensenada and Tijuana -- the fault is just that the San Andres Earthquake fault -- a spur. Abrupt sagging of the highway can divert two lanes into one on the opposing side.

Auto fares are now 38 pesos per tramo. a round trip is six fares. A little more than twenty dollars.

If you drive in Mexico regularly, even if you hate tolls, you'll agree that there are many of the toll roads that are worth WAY more than they are charging.

The price of a new tire versus a toll. Hum.....

Not as bad as it sounds. Click on the link and it will give you a list of destinations and a map (to and from) that have increases.

Not all autopistas are increasing, only those that are managed by CAPUFE, government run highways.
