Puerto Rico Highway 159


Puerto Rico Highway 159 is the main road from Morovis to Toa Alta, passing through the municipality of Corozal, Puerto Rico.

Route description

This road begins in downtown Morovis, from PR-155 until the PR-165 in Toa Alta. It is about 21 km long. Among their intersections are the PR-137, PR-160, PR-142 and PR-164.
In Corozal, the road serves as the main access to some neighborhoods and in the downtown area the route was replaced by the PR-891, and PR-159 makes a bypass to evade the municipal center.
On this highway lies the Plaza Aquarium shopping center and Mavilla Bridge.

Maintenance

The issue of who is responsible for the road maintenance in Morovis was argued in April 2019. Representative Guillermo Miranda Rivera accused the mayor of Morovis, Carmen Maldonado González, of not doing road maintenance on Morovis' roads, while she blamed the central government for the condition of state roads in Morovis.
