Route description

Puerto Rico Highway 805 is a rural road with a single lane per direction along its entire length. In Negros, it extends from its junction with PR-568 near Cuchillas to its intersection with PR-807, passing though several neighborhoods and sectors with scenic views of the northern coast of Puerto Rico.

History

Prior to its numerical designation, PR-805 was only known as Spanish; Castilian: Camino de Negros. The current numerical designation corresponds to the 1953 Puerto Rico highway renumbering, a process implemented by the Puerto Rico Department of Transportation and Public Works (Spanish; Castilian: Departamento de Transportación y Obras Públicas) that increased the insular highway network to connect existing routes with different locations around Puerto Rico.
