Route description

Detailed map of PR-14 in the Municipality of Ponce

Except in the city of Ponce where (with the exception of the Ponce Historic Zone) the road is a 4-lane road known as Avenida Tito Castro, the rest of PR-14 is a two-lane country road as it makes its way through the four towns it runs through, Juana Diaz, Coamo, Aibonito and Cayey.[4] PR-14 is one of the roads that lead into the Ponce Historic Zone.[5]
