Ah, journalism at its best and always with a twist of satirism. In the first article which is in Spanish, they say all the highway up to and including the bridge is 99% completed and ready to go.
Then the twist begins, los primeros 10 kilómetros del lado sinaloense pasando el Baluarte aun existen mucho trabajo por hacer por lo que las constructoras de aquel lado tendrán que trabajar a marchas forzadas para concluir los 16 túneles y 13 puentes en ese tramo señalado renglones antes.
The first 10 kms on the Sinaloa side (east of the bridge) has a lot of work to complete, they'll have to work hard to finish 16 tunnels and 13 bridges as mentioned above.
This could mean the work is under progress and tunnels have already been dug but finishing touches aren't complete. What percentage makes a project "incomplete" and requires another full year (although a full year is not mentioned in the article).
Also, an interesting read, Cameron County ‘not ready’ for Mexican produce highway (Cameron County is Brownsville, Texas) It appears that Brownsville may become a major produce port from the East coast and Mid-West along with south Texas.
I like the SCT website, but like INEGI, it is difficult to maneuver. So much so, INEGI offered me a two-day course to understand how to manage their website. Oh the humanity of government websites.
I want to be optimistic and say that Hwy 40 will soon be reality. Now we just need a group of teachers or Pemex works to make it a place to hold their desmadres.
