Puerto Rico Highway 103 (PR-103) is a rural road that extends from PR-114 near Hormigueros to PR-101 in Cabo Rojo. Previously ran through downtown Hormigueros, from PR-2 and PR-309 intersection between Guanajibo and Hormigueros barrios to PR-2 and PR-319 junction in downtown area.[4]
Route description
[edit]The current PR-103 extends from PR-114 in Guanajibo to PR-101 between the Llanos Costa, Llanos Tuna, and Boquerón barrios. Along its north-south route, it intersects with PR-3311, PR-102, PR-308 and PR-300. Among the barrios it passes through are Bajura, Monte Grande, Cabo Rojo barrio-pueblo, Miradero and Pedernales.[4]
History
[edit]PR-103 is the old road that ran from Hormigueros, passing through the center of Cabo Rojo, until PR-101, which connects from Boquerón to Lajas. It now extends only from PR-114 to PR-101, staying within Cabo Rojo. Due to the rural nature of PR-103, Puerto Rico Highway 100 has replaced PR-103 as a faster and more convenient route to enter and exit Cabo Rojo from the north.[4][5]
Major intersections
[edit]The entire route is located in Cabo Rojo.
