Puerto Rico Highway 201 (PR-201) is a road located in Vieques, Puerto Rico.[2] With a length of 8.9 km (5.5 mi), this highway extends from its intersection with PR-200 in Florida barrio to the ROTH radar installations in Lave barrio.[3]

Route description

[edit]

Due to its rural characteristics, PR-201 has one lane in each direction along its entire length. This highway extends from its intersection with PR-200 in Florida (km 0.0) and continues to the southwest, where it intersects with PR-996 (km 3.7), PR-995 (km 4.5) and again with PR-996 (km 6.9) in Puerto Real. Then, it continues west through Llave until km 8.9 at the ROTH radar installations. PR-201 serves to few communities of Florida, Puerto Real and Llave barrios, connecting the northern region of Vieques with the southern coast.[3]

History

[edit]

The entire length of PR-201 is part of the old Road No. 69,[4] a highway that led from Florida to Llave until the 1953 Puerto Rico highway renumbering, a process implemented by the Puerto Rico Department of Transportation and Public Works (Spanish: Departamento de Transportación y Obras Públicas) that increased the insular highway network to connect existing routes with different locations around Puerto Rico. Route 69 extended from PR-200 (old Road No. 38) in northern Vieques to the old Route 38 in the southwestern area of the island.[5]
