Update 2: Traffic to Guadalajara is moving only through the Las Palmas, San Sebastian route. Proteccion Civil reports (as of 11:00 AM, September 7th) that only one lane is open at certain points on the road.
Update 1: Highway 200 from Bucerias to Sayulita, as well as the alternate route around Punta de Mita and on to Sayulita are still closed.
Authorities are urging people not to try to wait in line for the roads to open. The line of cars on Highway 200 is stretched back to the La Cruz turnoff by Bucerias.
Authorities are trying to help people park on the shoulders of the highway to avoid chaos and allow repair crews to fix the roads. People trying to get to Sayulita, San Pancho, Lo de Marcos and northward have the choice of taking a water taxi to Sayulita and taking a taxi from there.
Water taxis are available in Nuevo Vallarta. In Punta de Mita, pangas are available for hire, but water taxi licenses are non-existent for Punta de Mita. As far as PV Pulse knows you may need to hire the whole panga and subdivide the costs amongst your party.
Fees for the water taxis from Nuevo to Sayulita are $30 USD at Paradise Village. Stay tuned.
