multiple issues orphan April 2010 unreferenced February 2008 Infobox road state PR type PR route 901 previous type PR previous route 891 next type PR next route 1111 Puerto Rico Highway 901 is a temporary primary highway in the southeast of Puerto Rico, beginning in PR 3 in Yabucoa, Puerto Rico and ending in PR 760 in Maunabo, Puerto Rico . PR 3, in Yabucoa, enters downtown and continues uphill into the mountains. Therefore, the Department of Transportation designed PR 901 as a primary route this having the blue white designation in the boards while PR 53 is being constructed, because it is more direct to the area of Maunabo than PR 3, as the latter has more curves. It goes parallel to the coastline for several kilometers, but due to the mountains ending up in the very shore, PR 901 is a high road thus, a dangerous road and the Caribbean Sea is about several hundreds of feet below the road s level, making PR 901 a scenic route which also gives it the distinction of being one of the few roads in the island to offer a very beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea Or Atlantic Ocean since this is the highest coastline in all of Puerto Rico Cordillera Central ends exactly at the Vieques Passage . Some views, especially before approaching the new tunnels of PR 53 of the road are very similar to the views of the Pacific Ocean from California Route 1 in California . Yet, people have to be extremely cautious in this road. People who go from Humacao to the area of Guayama are recommended to take PR 30 , PR 52 and then PR 53 Salinas, Puerto Rico Salinas Guayama than the PR 3 PR 901 route, because it is more safe and takes the same time. This will end when PR 53 is finished. When PR 53 is finished, PR 901 will become a normal rural road, and PR 53 will become the primary route to Maunabo.
