Puerto Rico Highway 18 (PR-18) is a freeway in Puerto Rico, which is also known as Expreso Las Américas. It runs from its north end at its intersection with PR-22 (known as Expreso José de Diego) in San Juan to its south end in Río Piedras where it intersects with PR-1.[2] At this point PR-18 becomes PR-52, known as Autopista Luis A. Ferré.[3]
