Can someone tell me the condition of the highway from Durango thru Parral to Chihuahua? I would be towing a 30 ft fifth. It does not look too bad on google maps other than it is narrow.

This article is from October 4, 2018. This is the message from the mayor of Parral.

"Tenemos bien recorrida la carretera, son 398 kilómetros aproximadamente de los cuales 264 prácticamente no sirven, están hechos un solo hoyo (sic), está muy angosta la carretera y tenemos que quitar alrededor de 67 kilómetros de curva, que con eso ahorraríamos aproximadamente una hora (de recorrido)."

We have run the route from Parral to Durango, 398 kilometers of which 264 are in bad condition, the road is very narrow and to add an extra hour because of the 67 kilometers of curves. están hechos un solo hoyo (sic) "The highway is one big hole" (PO_)

Agregó que en cuanto a las condiciones de seguridad de la región no se tiene registro de incidentes, "la carretera Parral Durango se ha caracterizado por ser segura en los asaltos y eso".

He also added that in terms of security, the region has not registered any incidents, "the highway Parral-Durango is free from any type of assaults.

Sin embargo, los accidentes fatales que se han presentado en esta vía la convierten en una de las más inseguras para los conductores.

However, in terms of fatal traffic accidents that have occurred, it has turned this highway into a dangerous one for drivers.

The mayor of Parral could be exaggerating a bit to push the feds to do their job as our outgoing president promised would take place on this highway. Read for yourself.

For many, it's too early in the season.

Sit tight, someone is bound to travel that route soon.
