The PR22 link is a major route with up to 10 lanes at its widest point while the urban PR5 road runs from PR22 to the western suburbs of San Juan. However further deals are in hand in Puerto Rico and the authorities intend to award three further road lease deals in due course.

The fourth concession will be for a new-build highway project and involve a construct and operate contract for an extension of the existing PR22 highway.
