Avenida Juan Ponce de León, coextensive as Puerto Rico Highway 25 (PR-25) along its entire length, is one of the main thoroughfares in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[3]

Route description

[edit]

It is a mostly three-lane, one-way road. It runs from Old San Juan to Río Piedras pueblo[4] and, for most of its length, it is a three- or four-lane road traversing the Isleta de San Juan corridor. The section running through Río Piedras pueblo is the only section that is not a multi-lane roadway.

Urban landscape

[edit]

Institutional, cultural and other notable buildings predominate along the thoroughfare and it is considered[by whom?] as one of the main arteries in shopping errands, community participation, cultural activities and of personnel training of the city,[5] it also constitutes an attraction for its architecture.[6]

A stretch of Avenida Ponce de León has been designated as the arts district.[7] It starts in Miramar and continues towards Hato Rey for 4 miles.

Major intersections

[edit]

The entire route is located in San Juan.
