Rio Ameca bridge rebuild underway. Expect a 1/2 hour delay north to Nayarit & south to airport.

After the tremendous rains from August and early September that washed out a number of bridges including the north bound Ameca river bridge from the airport, we now have a timetable for rebuilding. The Puerto Vallarta municipal government along with the Ministry of Communications & Transportation and other authorities announced that the bridge will be rebuilt as soon as possible. The series of meetings between Puerto Vallarta Mayor Salvador Gonzalez Resendiz & Communications and Transportation Directors seem to have paid off, "as work to reconstruct the bridge that connects Puerto Vallarta & Riviera Nayarit is now underway, and is expected to be completed before the upcoming 2011 Easter holidays."
