Crews clear mud and debris from Nicolás Tamaral Ave. and the Transpeninsular after Cabo San Lucas rain
Backhoe crews worked overnight at the Chulavista entrance and near Costa Azul.
The Los Cabos municipal government sent heavy machinery out on Tuesday night to clear Cabo San Lucas roads hit by the rain. The worst spots were Nicolás Tamaral Avenue at the entrance to the Chulavista neighborhood and the Transpeninsular Highway near Costa Azul.
According to the town council, crews used backhoes to remove dirt, mud and debris carried by runoff, and to unclog and reopen blocked stretches. Public Services, Civil Protection and Public Safety took part in the operation.
The work was overseen by Cabo San Lucas municipal delegate Karina de la O Uribe and local Public Services coordinator José Ramón Sánchez Guluarte, on instructions from Mayor Christian Agúndez Gómez, the council said.
If you're driving today
Authorities ask drivers to take care in flooded areas and avoid stretches where water is still running. Nicolás Tamaral and the Transpeninsular are two of the busiest routes linking Cabo San Lucas neighborhoods with the tourist corridor, so allow extra travel time.
Municipal Civil Protection has a 72-hour alert in place for rain and thunderstorms, so the same spots could see more debris. Before crossing a dip or a flooded street, remember that even a shallow current can move a vehicle.
