Transportation Restored between Puerto
Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit
Posted September 2
2010
One of two bridges linking Puerto Vallarta and
Riviera Nayarit collapsed yesterday due to
torrential rainfall
Marc Murphy, Director of the Riviera Nayarit
Convention and Visitors Bureau is pleased to advise
that vehicular transportation has been restored
between Puerto Vallarta, the International Airport
and Riviera Nayarit; Traffic is again flowing in
both directions.
Yesterday at 2:30 am, one of two north/south bridges
just north of the airport was washed out by
torrential downpours.
Authorities from the Federal Government as well as
the states of Jalisco and Nayarit checked the
structure of the remaining bridge and pronounced it
sound, again permitting the flow of vehicular
traffic between the two tourism regions by 2:00 pm
yesterday afternoon. The two bridges were parallel,
each providing two lanes in one direction. Now
traffic in both directions will travel over the one
bridge until a second is built, and the bridge will
be carefully monitored to assure safety at all
times.
"We thank all of the parties who joined together to
assure that our visitors did not encounter any
travel interruptions and minimal inconvenience."
said Marc Murphy. "We are happy to report that this
situation was addressed and resolved so quickly,
making it easy for travelers to visit the beautiful
resorts of Riviera Nayarit."

is no traffic moving
either north or south at this time. If you are
coming or
going, north or south today – it won’t
happen . Proteccion Civil
called Pam /thompson
this morning and said part of the bridge
collapsed at 4 or 5 am. This would be the bridge
over the Rio Ameca,
essentially, the state line
between Jalisco and Nayarit.
