History
The entire length of PR-201 is part of the old Road No. 69,[4] a highway that led from Florida to Llave until 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. Route 69 extended from PR-200 (old Road No. 38) in northern Vieques to the old Route 38 in the southwestern area of the island.[5]
Major intersections
The entire route is located in Vieques.
