Puerto Rico Highway 506 (PR-506) is a two-lane tertiary highway in the municipality of Ponce in Puerto Rico. The road runs north to south, joining PR-14, where PR-506 starts, to PR-52 interchange, where it ends. The road is located entirely within Barrio Coto Laurel and its length is 2km (01miles).[2]
In its short 2km (01miles) length, PR-506 is home to Hospital San Cristóbal, Bolera Caribe, National University College, a pharmacy, a branch of the United States Post Office, a bank, and many restaurants, among other businesses and few neighborhoods located in Barrio Coto Laurel. The southern end of PR-506 also provides access to Industrias Vassallo[3] and Cristalia Premium Water[4] [5] industries.
Until 2012 the road ran south to north starting at the easternmost edge of Mercedita International Airport at PR-1 and Camino Buyones, heading north and intersecting with PR-52 and continuing north to intersect with PR-14 where it ended. In that year, however, the Government of Puerto Rico abandoned maintenance of the stretch of the road from its PR-1 intersection to its intersection with PR-52, and the road was signed only from PR-52 to PR-14. At that time, the road was longer than its current 2km (01miles).
