Route description
From west to east, PR-60 begins at PR-30 interchange in Tejas and ends at PR-3 intersection in Río Abajo, with two lanes per direction along the entire length.[1] This freeway has two exits north of downtown Humacao:

History
The freeway was part of PR-30 before the latter, then called Puerto Rico Alt Highway 30 (or ramal), ended in the intersection with PR-909 near Mariana. When PR-53 was under construction, PR-30 was also extended to its terminus and the Department of Transportation and Public Works of Puerto Rico (DTOP) renumbered the final 1.9 miles (3 kilometers) of former PR-30 to PR-60.[3]
