Route description

PR-3 in Yabucoa enters downtown and continues uphill into the mountains. The Puerto Rico Department of Transportation designed PR-901 as a primary route [4] while PR-53 is under construction, because it is a more direct way to the Maunabo area than PR-3, as the latter has more curves. PR-901 runs parallel to the coastline for several kilometers, but due to the mountains ending at the coastline, PR-901 run several hundred feet above sea level. This feature makes PR-901 a scenic route. [5] Drivers traveling from Humacao to the area of Guayama are recommended[ by whom? ] to use PR-30 to PR-52 and then PR-53 (Salinas-Guayama) as opposed to using the PR-3/PR-901 route because it is safer and shorter. This by-pass will end when construction of PR-53 is completed. When PR-53 is finished, PR-901 will become a normal rural road, and PR-53 will become the primary route to Maunabo.
