Puerto Rico Highway 14 (PR-14) is a main highway connecting Ponce to Cayey, Puerto Rico. [2] The road runs the same course as the historic Carretera Central. The Ponce-to- Coamo section of PR-14 was built under the direction of Spanish engineer Raimundo Camprubí Escudero (b. Pamplona 15 March 1846 – d. Madrid 1924). [3]
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 Díaz, Coamo, Aibonito and Cayey. [4] PR-14 is one of the roads that lead into the Ponce Historic Zone. [5]
