The Road to San Felipe
Planned highway improvements will transform access to San Felipe, making the journey safer, faster, and more enjoyable.
Investing in Better Access
As San Felipe continues to grow in popularity among retirees, families, and real estate investors, the demand for improved road infrastructure has never been greater. Growing traffic volumes and increasing real estate demand have spurred planning for significant highway improvement projects along the corridor between Mexicali and San Felipe.
Phase 1: Four-Lane Highway Plan
The first phase of planned highway improvements covers a 30-kilometer stretch from kilometer marker 190 to kilometer marker 160, designed to transform the existing two-lane road into a modern, four-lane divided highway.
Expanded Road Width
The planned four-lane road would be approximately 34 meters across, a dramatic expansion from the current 7-meter-wide roadway. This nearly five-fold increase in road width would provide ample space for safe, comfortable travel in both directions.
Landscaped Median
A landscaped central median would separate opposing lanes of traffic, improving safety by eliminating head-on collision risks and adding visual appeal to the driving experience through the desert landscape.
Safe U-Turn Points
Designated, engineered u-turn points are part of the highway design, allowing drivers to safely reverse direction without dangerous maneuvers. These controlled turning areas would reduce accidents and improve traffic flow.
Pedestrian Crosswalks
Modern pedestrian crosswalks are part of the highway design to protect walkers and cyclists. These safety features are essential as more communities develop along the San Felipe corridor.

Phased Construction Approach
The 30-kilometer Phase 1 project is divided into 20 manageable sections, each approximately 1.5 kilometers long. This phased approach allows construction to proceed efficiently while minimizing disruption to existing traffic and travel.
Minimal Disruption
Sectional construction keeps the road open during improvements, ensuring travelers can still reach San Felipe without major delays.
Modern Engineering
