Route description edit
Sometimes referred to as Pork Highway, it is the main and only access to the various famous roasted-pork restaurants (lechoneras) in the area of Guavate[5][6] and the access to the Carite State Forest. It borders the Guavate or Carite River, where several people swim often, and like Puerto Rico Highway 181, it borders the man-made Carite Lake, and it meets its end at Puerto Rico Highway 3. The main antennas of the local TV stations Telemundo, WAPA-TV and Univision can be seen from this road in La Santa. The road passes near a point where five municipalities share a border – Cayey, Patillas, San Lorenzo, Caguas and Guayama.[3][4]
