Puerto Rico Highway 31 (PR-31) is a main, rural highway connecting Juncos at Puerto Rico Highway 198 to Naguabo at Puerto Rico Highway 3.[1] It is an alternate route for people who are going from Caguas and other nearby towns to Naguabo, without having to pass through Humacao.[3] Taking PR-30 and PR-53 to Naguabo can be faster depending on the traffic. It is located south of El Yunque and is constantly flooded, even with little rainfall.[4] Several farms are close to this highway and it has two intersections with Puerto Rico Highway 53.
