- Puerto Rico Highway 185
Puerto Rico Highway 185 is a main highway that connects
Canóvanas, Puerto Rico toJuncos, Puerto Rico and is about 25 kilometers long. It begins in downtown of Canóvanas, very close toPuerto Rico Highway 3 and ends in Puerto Rico Highway 952 andPuerto Rico Highway 30 in Juncos. For people coming from/going toCaguas , the highway has a direct intersection with PR-30; for those coming from/going toHumacao , drivers have to take short highway PR-952 and then take PR-189 just before its intersection with PR-30, hence this exit being one of the most disorganized junctions in the island between a main highway and a main freeway or tollway in the island. NewPuerto Rico Highway 66 also has a poor-designed intersection with the highway, since it only allow people going to/coming from Carolina (west) and not the east. This is probably because the short segment open from the new tollway immediately ends at PR-3 only 2 kilometers from the exit to PR-185 and thus expected to be fixed when the segment toRio Grande opens to the public.The highway enters a small portion of Carolina, before it enters Canóvanas. PR-185 serves as an alternate route for people who drive the way between the metro area and the southeast, and it does not climb many hills and is generally wide. It is a much better option than taking
Puerto Rico highway 181 or going to Fajardo and then go south via PR-53, since the island is wider in the north than in the south segment.
