Route description

edit

PR-122 is mostly an avenue connecting downtown San Germán with PR-2. After intersecting with PR-166, the avenue ends and the highway becomes a narrow, rural road until its end.[5] On June 22, 2023, the Governor of Puerto Rico announced that a budget has been assigned to build the last segment of PR-122 between San Germán and Lajas at an estimated cost of $53.3 million. This new route will facilitate access to Lajas, creating an alternative route to PR-101.[4]
