That trestle where the old road goes under the tracks. just south of Cumbres, is the old dirt highway coming up from La Manga. The old road veered to the right just before Cumbres (heading south) went around the back of the wye and then turned left and went under the trestle, crossed where the current paved highway is now and then continued on the hillside east of Cumbres, You can see the old highway on the hillside. It rejoined the current highway near Coxo.Whether it was part of the old toll road, I don't knoqw.
