Puerto Rico Highway 53

Location :

Puerto Rico Highway 53 is a main tollway that is parallel to Puerto Rico Highway 3, which goes from Fajardo to Salinas. Some segments are still in planning, but when finished it will have about of length. Two tunnels, about 0.6 mi long each, in the towns of Yabucoa and Maunabo were completed in. It will connect the cities of Fajardo, Ceiba, Naguabo, Humacao, Yabucoa, Maunabo, Patillas, Arroyo, Guayama and Salinas, thus bordering the entire eastern and southeastern coasts of Puerto Rico. Its northern terminus is at PR-3 and PR-194 in Fajardo, and its south terminus is at PR-52 in Salinas.OverviewThe highway consists of five toll plazas; these are at Ceiba Norte, Humacao Norte, Humacao Sur, Guayama and Salinas. It is very probable that a final toll plaza before entering the future tunnels is added, and it might be the most expensive of all the toll plazas in the four main tollways and possibly even more expensive than the toll plaza at the Teodoro Moscoso Bridge because of the high cost of the construction of the tunnels.
