Mex 200-D Michoacan Started

The days of the remote winding road are ending. SCT just announced the 1st in 8 steps are commencing. Three billion pesos so far starting at the south end.

El Habillal to Caleta de Campos. 2nd stage Caleta to Maruata. then smaller increments to beyond Tecoman Colima.

The grand strategy is to make Mex 200 a direct link to Acapulco. A huge marine base is slated to be built at Maruata.

Should end end making for a neat drive all the way down to Zihuatanejo.

My little burg has already been bypassed. They are going to bypass Caleta as well.
  • Development to happen near Maruata is interesting, and concerning. I may never visit there again, but having been struck by the amazing grandeur of Maruata, I would never want the area, especially near the beaches, to ever change.Of course, the beauty is the draw. Too soon we will see someone try to add to the natural beauty and in so doing, spoil it all.
