Route description

Puerto Rico Highway 803 is a rural road with one lane in each direction along its entire length. In Corozal, it begins at PR-164 intersection, crossing Palmarejo and Palos Blancos barrios until the Naranjito municipal limit. In Palos Blancos, PR-803 climbs the Corozal mountains and meets with PR-808 and PR-805 near the Monte Choca State Forest.[3] In Naranjito, it has a shorter length than in Corozal, located entirely within Cedro Arriba barrio, beginning from the Corozal municipal limit to its southern terminus at PR-152 and PR-802 intersection.[4]

History

Prior to its numerical designation, PR-803 was only known as Carretera de Palos Blancos. 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.[5]
