P.R. Laws tit. 9, § 2004e
Whenever the Highways Authority and/or the Secretary of Transportation and Public Works determine that the public interest requires that an existing highway or a stretch thereof, bridge, avenue or expressway, with its ancillary transit facilities, be converted to a toll road operated and maintained by a private entity, they shall propose the project to the Legislature; said project shall be subject to approval by the Legislature by means of a joint resolution. Once the project has been approved by the Legislature, it shall be subject to the provisions of this chapter.
In case an existing road is converted into a toll road, there shall be an alternate road for the citizenry that is not subject to the payment of tolls.
