History
Puerto Rico Highway 200 is part of original segments of old Roads No. 38 and No. 70 that existed until the 1953 Puerto Rico highway renumbering, a process implemented by the Puerto Rico Department of Transportation and Public Works (Departamento de Transportación y Obras Públicas) that increased the insular highway network to connect existing routes with different locations around Puerto Rico. Road No. 38 was the highway that led from Llave to Puerto Diablo through Mosquito, Florida and Isabel II, while Road No. 70 was a route from Mosquito to Punta Arenas.
