Puerto Rico to Close PR-26 Lane and Ramp November 12 for Pedestrian Bridge Work

Why this matters: Drivers heading into San Juan on the PR-26 will lose the right lane and ramp 4B at kilometer 4.5 for six and a half hours on November 12, during the morning-to-afternoon window that carries commuter traffic.

Puerto Rico’s Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTOP) and the Highways and Transportation Authority (ACT) announced on Monday a partial closure of one lane and ramp 4B of the Román Baldorioty de Castro Expressway (PR-26) in the direction of San Juan. Both agencies said the stretch will be closed on November 12 for construction work on a new pedestrian bridge.

The work will run from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM at kilometer 4.5, where the right lane and ramp 4B leading to the expressway’s marginal road will remain closed. The project involves building a new pedestrian bridge on the PR-26 marginal road. Because of the work, the agencies urged drivers to slow down, pay attention to traffic signs and follow the instructions of the control devices that will be installed in the construction zone.

For information on the closures and other road projects, citizens can check the ACT and DTOP Facebook pages and the X accounts @DTOP and @actprgov.
