Re: [Rolly] New toll road between Durango and Mazatlán

At first I started to say something logical like, "well if they have finished that great bridge, the rest of the road must be about done too and the opening should be imminent", but them I remembered that it is Mexico and a finished bridge is not a sure sign of anything. Is there an estimated opening that you know of Rolly?
And since I (above) put Mexico in a seemingly singular position of poor planning or at least sometimes illogical or politically motivated, I am reminded that as a young man in Louisiana, that corrupt state (Mexico has nothing on that state, at least during the times of my youth and the era of the 'Longs'!) built a huge bridge over the Mississippi River ..... but there was no approach to it on the west side of the river ... in fact it dumped right into a massive swamp. While awaiting appropriations for several years to connect it to something, it was known as the Bridge to Nowhere or, after the then Governor Jimmy Davis, the Sunshine Bridge. This bridge-to-nowhere foolishness has been repeated many times since then, not the least of which was the proposed $400 million bridge across some narrows in Alaska so the (8,000?) citizens of Ketchikan Alaska wouldn't have to take a $5 ferry across to their airport or to many visit one of their (50) friends who lived over there.
