Puerto Rico Highway 159 (PR-159) is the main road from Morovis to Toa Alta, passing through the municipality of Corozal in Puerto Rico. This road begins in downtown Morovis, from its intersection with PR-155 and PR-6623 to its junction with PR-165 in Toa Alta. It is about 21 km (13 mi) long.
Route description
This highway consists of one lane in each direction for most of its length between Morovis and Toa Alta. In Morovis, PR-159 travels from its intersection with PR-155 and PR-6623 in downtown to the Corozal municipal limit, crossing through Monte Llano and Unibón barrios. In Corozal, the road serves as the main access to some neighborhoods, including Padilla, Cibuco, Dos Bocas, Barrio Pueblo, downtown Corozal, Palmarejo and Abras. Through downtown Corozal, the route was replaced by PR-891, and PR-159 makes a bypass to evade the municipal center. In Toa Alta, PR-159 crosses though Quebrada Arenas barrio until its ending at PR-165 on the Quebrada Arenas–Quebrada Cruz line.
Among the most important intersections are PR-137 (Expreso Ángel "Tony" Laureano), that heads to Vega Baja; PR-142 (Expreso de Corozal), that goes to Dorado; PR-155, the main highway between Vega Baja and Orocovis; PR-160, a route between Morovis and eastern Vega Baja; PR-164, the main highway to Naranjito, and PR-165, the main road between Toa Alta and Naranjito. On this highway lies the Plaza Aquarium shopping center, located in Toa Alta, and Mavilla Bridge, a centenary bridge which is located east of Corozal.

History
Puerto Rico Highway 159 is part of original segments of old Roads No. 10 and No. 20 that existed until 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. Road No. 10 was the highway that led from Dorado to Coamo through Toa Alta, Corozal and Orocovis, while Road No. 20 was a route from Naranjito to Ciales across Corozal and Morovis.
Maintenance
The issue of who is responsible for the road maintenance in Morovis was argued in April 2019. Representative Guillermo Miranda Rivera accused the mayor of Morovis, Carmen Maldonado González, of not doing road maintenance on Morovis' roads, while she blamed the central government for the condition of state roads in Morovis.
