Puerto Rico Highway 132 (PR-132) is a secondary[3] highway that connects the town of Guayanilla to the city of Ponce, Puerto Rico. The road runs through the town of Peñuelas before reaching Ponce. In Ponce, PR-132 starts where Calle Villa ends.[4]

History

The highway resulted from the old road connecting Ponce to Peñuelas via Barrio Canas.[4]

• 
  A segment of PR-132, in Ponce, Puerto Rico, heading from Peñuelas to Ponce
• 
  PR-132 west in Barrio Canas Urbano

Future

In August 2011, a bill was introduced in the Puerto Rico Senate to build a new highway that would take over some of the traffic currently on PR-132. The new road may start off at PR-500 and connect to PR-127. The proposed road would also take over some of the traffic currently on PR-2.[5][6]
