Puerto Rico Highway 891 (PR-891) is the road that goes to downtown Corozal, the administrative center of Corozal, Puerto Rico. With a length of 1.8 km, this road can be seen as the Alt 159, since it was the original alignment of PR-159 through the municipal center.

Route description

This highway consists of one lane in each direction for most of its length. PR-891 begins at its junction with PR-159 in western Barrio Pueblo. Then, it crossess the Río Corozal, a tributary of the Río Cibuco, and enters the city center, where it meets with PR-821 and PR-807 around the town square. After those intersections, PR-891 heads to the east, leaving the downtown area until its end at PR-159 in eastern Barrio Pueblo.

History

Like a part of PR-159, the entire length of PR-891 is part of the old Road No. 10, a highway that led from Dorado to Coamo through Toa Alta, Corozal and Orocovis until the 1953 Puerto Rico highway renumbering, a process implemented by the Puerto Rico Department of Transportation and Public Works () that increased the insular highway network to connect existing routes with different locations around Puerto Rico. Route 10 extended from PR-165 (old Road No. 2) near Toa Alta to PR-14 (former Road No. 1) in downtown Coamo. Its original way currently corresponds to PR-165, from PR-8865 in Dorado to PR-159 in Toa Alta; PR-159, from PR-165 in Toa Alta to PR-568 in Corozal, except in downtown area, where PR-891 replaces PR-159; PR-568, from PR-159 in Corozal to PR-5155 in Orocovis; PR-5155, from PR-568 north of downtown to PR-155 south of downtown, and PR-155, from PR-5155 in Orocovis to PR-14 in Coamo.
