Future

In August 2011, a bill was introduced in the Puerto Rico Senate to build a new highway that would take over some of the traffic currently on PR-132. The new road may start off at PR-500 and connect to PR-127. The proposed road would also take over some of the traffic currently on PR-2.[5][6]
