The bypass improves access to Comerío and Barrio Guadiana from PR-5 because PR-167 (between Bayamón and Naranjito) has many curves. Originally PR-148 also ran to west (from its junction with PR-5 and PR-826) to the former PR-147 near the downtown of Naranjito to improve the access from the east because PR-164 (like PR-167) has many curves in Barrio Nuevo area. Actually the former PR-147 and the east-west section of this route is now part of PR-5.
