History
The highway resulted from the old road connecting Ponce to Peñuelas via Barrio Canas.[5]
Proposed new road
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.[6][7]
