This highway consists of one lane in each direction for most of its length. PR-891 begins at its junction with PR-159 in western Barrio Pueblo. Then, it crossess the Río Corozal,[4] a tributary of the Río Cibuco, and enters the city center, where it meets with PR-821 and PR-807 around the town square.[5] After those intersections, PR-891 heads to the east, leaving the downtown area until its end at PR-159 in eastern Barrio Pueblo.[6]
Puerto Rico Highway 891 makes its way within the urban area through the following streets:
Like a part of PR-159, the entire length of PR-891 is part of the old Road No. 10, a highway that led from Dorado to Coamo through Toa Alta, Corozal and Orocovis 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. Route 10 extended from PR-165 (old Road No. 2) near Toa Alta to PR-14 (former Road No. 1) in downtown Coamo.[10] Its original way currently corresponds to PR-165, from PR-8865 in Dorado to PR-159 in Toa Alta;[11] PR-159, from PR-165 in Toa Alta to PR-568 in Corozal, except in downtown area, where PR-891 replaces PR-159;[3] PR-568, from PR-159 in Corozal to PR-5155 in Orocovis;[12] PR-5155, from PR-568 north of downtown to PR-155 south of downtown, and PR-155, from PR-5155 in Orocovis to PR-14 in Coamo.[13]
The entire route is located in Corozal.
