Road from Airport

Has anyone heard if the road from the Manzanillo Airport to La Manzanilla is open? The pictures of the flooding are heartbreaking. Hope everyone is going to be alright!

I attempted to go to Cihatlan at about 9:00am from our property near the entrance to Tamarindo. There were several areas with washouts and trees down which I was able to get by but about 2\3 down there was a complete blockage with trees and mud. Several people were attempting to clear it but had nothing but shovels and machetes. From past experience it doesn't take much to close the airport road. Good luck

According to Proteccion Civil, Hwy 200 is closed from here to Melaque and south to Manzanillo. Opening the highway is their primary priority, before they can start dealing with local issues.

Thanks, Dave. They're expecting to reopen by tomorrow and I'm counting on it (I have a flight home that arrives in ZLO in the afternoon).

Now I just hope 200 is passable!
