History

Before its current numerical designation, the entire length of PR-864 belonged to an original segment of PR-2 prior to its current deviation and widening.[5] 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: Departamento de Transportación y Obras Públicas) that increased the insular highway network to connect existing routes with different locations around Puerto Rico.

Major intersections

The entire route is located in Hato Tejas, Bayamón.
