Puerto Rico Highway 60 (PR-60) or Avenida Dionisio Casillas is a 3.55-kilometre-long (2.21 mi) freeway entirely located in Humacao, Puerto Rico.[2] It connects Puerto Rico Highway 30 to Puerto Rico Highway 3 and has two exits:

  • PR-198, Humacao Centro: Access to Hospital Ryder, one of the most important hospitals in Humacao; Downtown Humacao and East Las Piedras
  • PR-924, Antón Ruiz: Access to Downtown Humacao and barrio Antón Ruíz.

History

The freeway was part of PR-30 before the latter, then called Puerto Rico Alt Highway 30 (or ramal), ended in the intersection with PR-909 near Mariana. When PR-53 was under construction, PR-30 was also extended to its terminus and the Department of Transportation and Public Works of Puerto Rico (DTOP) renumbered the final 1.9 miles (3 kilometers) of former PR-30 to PR-60.[3]
