The 78 is scheduled to be open at 4:00 PM today, 3-23-07.

funny how the carrot of extra money sped up the construction process huh?

this is really good news for those who have to go through this area...

<------Drives that way and Jazzed

thank you for the update TC

No problem guys. I'll be leaving at 3 so, it'll work out perfect for our group.

Thanks TC, now I can boogie on down to Glamis next weekend.

P.S. for anyone who drives that way, when they pass Mesa Grande Rd., wave. I live off that.

THANKS TC thats the way we go too!!! if ya run into any problems let us know....

It is open, I went that way this weekend.

I left on Thursday, went 15 to the 215, to the 60, to the 10, to the 86. It took an extra hour and 1/2 tank of fuel. Glad I don't have to go that way every trip. Came home the 78 and over the improved bridge and the bridge worked great.
