Route description

Puerto Rico Highway 806 is a rural road with a single lane per direction along its entire length.[3] In Corozal, it has a short length from PR-159 junction to the Toa Alta municipal limit. In Toa Alta, PR-806 extends from the Corozal municipal limit to PR-823 junction. The entire length in Corozal is located in Abras barrio,[4] while in Toa Alta it is located entirely in Quebrada Arenas barrio.[5]

History

Prior to its numerical designation, PR-806 was only known as the road that goes to the Carretera del Güinche from the old Road No. 10 (current PR-159).[6] The current numerical designation corresponds to 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.
