“$200M Sonora highway goal: to build tourism. President Vicente Fox visited Sonora on Tuesday April 2005 and inaugurated an ambitious $200 million coastal highway in Puerto Penasco. Construction started in April, 2005 on the highway, which will eventually lead Arizona travelers along the Sea of Cortez to Guaymas with mostly a beautiful coastal and ocean view that is suppose to be no more than six miles from the beach. Eventually, the highway will be lined by tourist stops, restaurants, stores and industry, said Oscar Lopez, the director of the Sonoran coastal highway project. Last year, Puerto Penasco alone drew 1.8 million visits, primarily from Arizona. San Carlos attracted about 250,000.
Construction is already under way on a 375-mile coastal highway that will connect North Americans to the Sonoran beaches of Puerto Penasco by 2006 and Guaymas by 2009. Nearly under way is a 350-mile pipeline to be built by 2008 to carry liquefied natural gas from Puerto Libertad to Hermosillo, Guaymas, Ciudad Obregon, Navojoa and Naco, Sonora. Eventually, a line will connect to Nogales, Sonora. From there, the natural gas would be piped for distribution to markets in the western United States.”
