Puerto Rico Highway 17 (PR-17) is a main highway located in Carolina, San Juan and Guaynabo, Puerto Rico.[1] It begins at PR-20 near its terminus with PR-2, and ends in the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in Carolina.[2] It is known as Jesus de Piñero Avenue along its entire length.
It intersects several important highways and streets in the metro area, including Las Américas Expressway (PR-18), Juan Ponce de León Avenue (PR-25), Trujillo Alto Expressway (PR-181) and PR-8. After the intersection with PR-181, it becomes a very short freeway and part of it is a toll bridge (the longest bridge above water in the island) called the Teodoro Moscoso Bridge, which is tolled with $3.80. After the bridge, it makes a final intersection with Román Baldorioty de Castro Expressway (PR-26) before becoming the road to the airport.
