}}Avenida Las Américas, is a major thoroughfare in Ponce, Puerto Rico. Most of its length is signed as Puerto Rico Highway 163 (PR-163). The highway has both of its termini as well as all of its length entirely within the Ponce city limits. It runs west to east. As of 12 November 2010, the segment of this road from its intersection in the west with PR-2R (a.k.a., Carretera Pámpanos) to its intersection in the east with PR-12, officially became the Bulevar Luis A. Ferré.[3]

Route description

The highway is a two-way divided six-lane road that starts at its junction in Barrio Canas with PR-500, near Avenida Baramaya (PR-9), next to Puente San Antonio,[4] and runs east until it meets PR-1 at Bulevar Miguel Pou.

Avenida Las Américas runs easterly from PR-500, intersecting with PR-2R (Ramal PR-2R) near Francisco Montaner Stadium and Juan Pachín Vicéns Auditorium, and passing Secretaría de Recreación y Deportes. Continuing east it passes Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico,[5] and Museo de Arte de Ponce,[6] before intersecting with Avenida Hostos PR-123. Other points of interest on Avenida Las Américas[7] are the former Puerto Rico Police headquarters for the Ponce Region, the Ponce Governmental Center, and Hospital Metropolitano Dr. Pila. Continuing east, the road crosses Rio Portugués and immediately afterwards the road intersects Avenida Santiago de los Caballeros (PR 12), and takes a northerly turn to intersect with PR-1 at Bulevar Miguel Pou, about 1 mile further. Additional businesses along its way are Café Rico and Centro del Sur Mall, both at Avenida Las Américas's intersection with PR-133, also known as Calle Comercio.

Road characteristics

Avenida Las Américas is 4.8 kilometers long and ends at the intersection of Boulevard Miguel Pou (PR-1). Although Avenida Las Américas ends at its intersection with PR-1, physically the roadway continues as a non-divided four-lane road called Avenida Emilio Fagot to intersect with PR-14 and, further north, to come to an end at a junction with PR-10 for access to points in northeast and north Puerto Rico, respectively. The less transited western section of Avenida Las Américas experiences an hourly traffic flow upwards of 2400 vehicles.[8] On the westernmost end of the road, Puente San Antonio connects Avenida Las Américas with PR-9, also called Avenida Baramaya.[9]
