Route description

Puerto Rico Highway 147 was a bypass that served as an alternate route for PR-164 to avoiding downtown Naranjito. The entire route, which is the current PR-5, has two lanes per direction, and passes through Achiote, Guadiana and Barrio Nuevo.^[1]

History

The former PR-147 ran from its intersection with PR-164 to former east–west portion of PR-148 (current PR-5), as a bypass to the north part of downtown area.^[3] After extending the PR-5 number from Bayamón to Naranjito, the PR-147 numbering was decommissioned, leaving an unsigned portion between PR-5 and PR-164 in the east of downtown.^[4]
