Puerto Rico Highway 807
Puerto Rico Highway 807 (PR-807) is a north–south road located in the municipality of Corozal in Puerto Rico.[2] With a length of 6.9 km (4.3 mi), it begins at Calle San Manuel in downtown Corozal, passing through Dos Bocas barrio until its southern terminus at its junction with PR-805 on the Palos Blancos–Negros line.[3] Route descriptionThis highway consists of one lane in each direction along its entire length. In downtown Corozal, PR-807 heads to the south near PR-891 and serves to several neighborhoods before entering Dos Bocas barrio. On its way to the south, it crosses the Río de los Negros, a tributary of the Río Cibuco basin.[4] Between Pueblo and Dos Bocas barrios, PR-807 becomes rural as it climbs the Corozal mountains until its southern end, meeting several neighborhoods and sectors on its way. In Palos Blancos, PR-807 reaches its highest point upon reaching its southern terminus at PR-805 junction.[5]
HistoryPrior to its numerical designation, PR-807 was only known as Camino del Banco. 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.[6] Major intersectionsThe entire route is located in Corozal.
