The road from Mexicali into San Felipe is in desperate need of improvement, as many already know. With the advancements and building along San Felipe Road, the need for improvement has become one of San Felipe's top priorities. The time for those changes is close at hand. San Felipe’s real estate and climate are becoming more and more desired by future retirees, as well as families acquiring vacation property. So, the enormous increase in visitors, as well as residents, along with the infrastructures to integrate with any future building, are all being taken into consideration. The city of San Felipe wants to make sure that the road built will be safe and able to withstand the fantastic weather conditions that the beautiful city is known for. Well, it looks like they have thought of everything.
The development of 30 kilometers of San Felipe Road starting at kilometer marker 190 (at the beginning of town), and advancing North to kilometer marker 160, are the first stage plans. A four lane road (approximately 34 meters across), and a beautifully landscaped center median, are among just a few of the anticipated modernizations. Seeing the future four lane road with a beautifully landscaped center median (along with the beautiful flowers, bushes, and trees in the center median), combined with the fact that the current road is a mere 7 meters across, will make entering San Felipe the pleasurable experience it should be. Pedestrian friendly crosswalks and safe u-turn access will be built in as needed.
To focus their sites on one section at a time, they intend to divide the 30 kilometer project into twenty 1.5 kilometer parts. Development, lab tests, and expected budget (Phase 1), are already complete. The current estimate of the project budget is $175 M Pesos. Phase 2 consists of the Environmental Impact Study, and Phase 3 is the Executive Study. Phase 3 basically brings it all together, consisting of the results of Phase 1 and Phase 2. The budget proposals, blueprints, and lab tests, have been submitted to the government already. So, pretty soon phase 2 should begin. When the government approves, and the first $50 M Pesos have been received, the project will begin construction of the first 15-20 kilometers.
Both investors and residents alike in San Felipe are extremely excited over this news. Soon, the entrance into San Felipe will truly represent the paradise that it is. |
