Puerto Rico Highway 133 (PR-133), also known as Comercio Street,[1] Cuatro Calles Avenue,[2] La Ceiba Street,[3] and Federico Parra Duperon Street[4] is a major access road in Ponce, Puerto Rico. The road has both of its endpoints, as well as all of its length, entirely within the Ponce city limits. It runs west to east. This road is the main access road from downtown Ponce to PR-52 and PR-1, providing access to San Juan and Guayama, respectively, and all other points in the eastern portion of the Island.
Course of the road
Highway 133 is about one and a half miles long, making it one of Puerto Rico’s shortest primary roads.
The road starts at its intersection with Marina street at Plaza Las Delicias in downtown Ponce. From this point the road runs east for three blocks as a one-way street and is called Francisco Parra Duperón but it is known as Comercio Street.[5] At the end of the third block, the road intersects Cruz Street and becomes a two-lane, two-way street called Francisco Parra Duperón Street. The road runs as the two-way Francisco Parra Duperon Street until its intersection with Rio Portugues. The road then crosses Rio Portugues as it approaches to the historical Ceiba Tree Park on the left. After crossing the river the road becomes a 4-lane divided road called La Ceiba Avenue. (Until recently this section of the road was known as Cuatro Calles Avenue, and this designation may still be seen in some older maps.) The road continues to run in a westerly direction, intersecting with PR-163/Las Americas Avenue (as of November 12, 2010, the Luis A. Ferre Avenue) at Café Rico and near Centro del Sur. After its intersection with PR-163, the road continues as a divided 4-lane road but becomes Ednita Nazario Avenue. Continuing east the road crosses PR-12 via an underpass (no access to PR-12 at this point) in its approach to its terminus at its intersection with PR-1 and PR-2.
