Guadalajara Bypass Wonderful!!!!

You are correct. The Cajititlan route does have topes. In fact it was kind of funny - last time we drove it - I think last year - there were people out there painting them and they had collection cups/cans asking for donations. The painting was going very slowly and we noted one guy was out painting one tope for a couple of weeks. We were staying at Roca Azul and had to fly in and out so found ourselves on that route a few times and the painting continued. Taking the route from Roca Azul to Ajijic and then up to the airport has over 30 topes. You can't win. We prefer Cajititlan because there is less traffic and a wider road much of the way. The new road will being taking a similar route but will go south of Lake Cajititlan I think - and of course we don't expect there to be topes. It will be more mile to bypass Guadalajara but should be a lot less traffic. They have been working on that new road for quite a few years and it can easily be seen on Google Earth. I would think most of the major work should be done by now (bridges etc.).
