Durango to Mazatlan report
Rode the new toll road for the first time. One big calk up at booth that refused to allow a doble to pass through to do a u-turn. Watched the doble driver attempt to back up his 2 54' trailers about 300 feet through concrete barricades for about 30 minutes. They wouldn't open another lane. Since we were on a motorcycle this time I rode around the barricades and paid by 120 pesos and was on my way. Not sure about everyone else... they may still be there.
One tunnel had some serious issues, the east lane was blocked off and beams were propping up the ceiling. There was a lot of work going on at many locations.
My GPS had a freezeup leaving me to motor on to Mazatlan on the toll road - which if you're going north you'll see no signs for a Mazatlan exit. Finally I exited the toll road north of Mazatlan and did a U-turn on 15 and rode back south about 5 miles so it was all good.
