Federal Highway 80D in Jalisco

By

The Zapotlanejo-Lagos de Moreno segment of Federal Highway 80D is 118.91-kilometer Autopista located east of Guadalajara in the Mexican state of Jalisco.  The segment connects from Federal Highway 90D and Federal Highway GUA 10D near Zapotlanejo to Federal Highway 45D near Lagos de Moreno.  Federal Highway 80D acts as continuation of the limited access highways out of the Guadalajara area and an alternate to the surface mainline Federal Highway 80.  




Part 1; the history of Federal Highway 80D from Zapotlanejo to Lagos de Moreno

The Zapotlanejo-Lagos de Moreno segment of Federal Highway 80D was constructed as a tolled Autopista alternative to Federal Highway 80 east of Guadalajara mostly during the early 2000s.  The segment connects from Federal Highway 90D and Federal Highway GUA 10D near Zapotlanejo 118.91 kilometers east to Federal Highway 45D near Lagos de Moreno.  The final segment of Federal Highway 80D between Federal Highway 80 near Loma del Estibo to Federal Highway 45D opened in 2014.  The Zapotlanejo-Lagos de Moreno segment of Federal Highway 80D acts as a continuation of the existing limited access corridors around the Guadalajara area.

The next exit on Federal Highway 80D eastbound is located at Jalisco Route 304 just beyond Caseta de Cobro Jalostotitlan.  The current toll rate at the plaza as the publishing of this blog is $191 Pesos for automobiles.













Part 3; a visit to Santa Ana de Guadalupe

Traffic wishing to access Santa Ana de Guadalupe can access the community by exiting from Federal Highway 80D onto Jalisco Route 304 southbound towards San Miguel el Alto. 


From Jalisco Route 304 southbound traffic can turn east towards Santa Ana de Guadalupe at Arco de Santo Toribio Romo.  


Traffic can follow an unnamed access road into the village of Santa Ana de Guadalupe.  Santo Torbio is used as a control point for the community.  







The village of Santa Ana de Guadalupe has approximately 300 residents and is located in the Municipality of Jalostotitlán.  Santa Ana de Guadalupe is most known as the birthplace of Saint Toribio Romo González in 1900. Saint Toribio Romo González was killed near the town of Tequila on February 25, 1928, during La Guerra Cristera (Cristero War). Saint Toribio Romo González is popular amongst migrants traveling to the United States and in general with Catholic travelers. Tourism to Santa Ana de Guadalupe began to thrive following the canonization of Saint Toribio Romo González in 2000.

The Bayshore Freeway is a 56.4-mile component of US Route 101 located in the San Francisco Bay Area.  The Bayshore Freeway connects the southern extent of San Jose to the Central Freeway in the city of San Francisco.  The corridor was originally developed as the Bayshore Highway between 1923 and 1937.  The Bayshore Highway would serve briefly as mainline US Route 101 before being reassigned as US Route 101 Bypass in 1938.  Conceptually the designs for the Bayshore Freeway originated in 1940 but construction would be delayed until 1947.  The Bayshore Freeway was completed by 1962 and became mainline US Route 101 during June 1963.   Part 1; the history of the Bayshore Freeway Prior the creation of the Bayshore Highway corridor the most commonly used highway between San Jose and San Francisco was El Camino Real (alternatively known as Peninsula Highway).  The  American El Camino Real  began as an early example of a signed as an Auto Trail starting in 1906.  The era of State Highway Mainte

By
The 8,431-foot-high Teton Pass lies in the Teton Range of the Rocky Mountains within Teton County, Wyoming.  Presently Teton Pass is crossed by Wyoming Highway 22 and Idaho State Highway 33.  At one point the highway over Teton Pass was signed as US Route 20 Alternate.  US Route 20 Alternate was over Teton Pass never formally approved by the American Association of State Highway Officials nor has the corridor ever been officially part of a US Route.  The image above was taken from the 1949 Rand McNally Map of Idaho, Wyoming and Montana which shows US Route 20 Alternate branching from US Route 20/US Route 191 near Sugar City, Idaho and crossing Teton Pass towards Jackson, Wyoming.   Part 1; the history of US Route 20 Alternate over Teton Pass No major Auto Trail was ever assigned to Teton Pass as evidenced by the 1925 Rand McNally Map of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming .  On the Wyoming side Teton Pass can be seen as part of Wyoming Highway 25 ("WY 25") whereas no State Highway is
