History

Prior to its numerical designation, PR-806 was only known as the road that goes to the Carretera del Güinche from the old Road No. 10 (current PR-159). The current numerical designation corresponds to the 1953 Puerto Rico highway renumbering, a process implemented by the Puerto Rico Department of Transportation and Public Works (Spanish: Departamento de Transportación y Obras Públicas) that increased the insular highway network to connect existing routes with different locations around Puerto Rico.
