Puerto Rico Highway 506 (PR-506) is a two-lane tertiary highway[2] in Ponce, Puerto Rico. The road runs south to north, joining PR-52, where it starts, to PR-14, where it ends. Its length is 2.0km. The road runs parallel to, but not next to, Rio Inabon in barrio Bucana.

History

Until 2012 the road ran south to north starting at the easternmost edge of Mercedita Airport at PR-1 and Camino Buyones, heading north and intersecting with PR-52 and continuing north to intersect with PR-14 where it ended. In that year, however, the Government of Puerto Rico abandoned maintenance of the stretch of the road from its PR-1 intersection to its intersection with PR-52, and the road was signed only from PR-52 to PR-14. At that time, the road was longer than its current 2.0km.[3]

PR-5506

An important tributary of PR-506 is PR-5506. PR-5506 is a two-lane tertiary road which intersects with the southern terminus of PR-10, an important primary highway.
