Hawaii Roads

Also see the Hawaii section of the bridge designs outside of California page.
Notes and photos from trips taken to Hawaii in March 1998, February 2005, and July 2008.
Route Signs
   H3 
Some older H1 signs use a dash (H-1). There are some older state route signs still up with the state name on them, and one I saw on the '98 trip was an old cutout, embossed sign (HI 83, now bypassed by the current routing, located on the northbound Kamehameha Hwy between Kaneohe and Heeia).
SE Oahu
HI 72 near Hanauma Bay, southeast Oahu. Hawaii was experiencing a drought in March 1998, when this picture was taken.

   
HI 72 on the left, coming around the south end of Oahu near Makapuu Point. On the right is HI 83 at Kahana Bay on the east side of the island.


HI 83 near Waimea, north shore Oahu.

Interstate H3 opened in late 1997 and goes across Oahu from Honolulu to Kaneohe. It is mostly tall viaducts, with a couple of tunnels.

H3 north of Honolulu
Eastbound H3 near Honolulu.

  
Interstate H3 near HI 83 and over HI 63.

H3 tunnel
The western tunnel, named the Tetsuo Harano Tunnel after a former state highways administrator.




Much of the road west of the ridge is on a viaduct.

H3 coming into Kaneohe on the viaduct.


The Hospital Rock Tunnels.

From the Pali Lookout
View from the Pali Lookout, accessed from HI 61. H3 is the road at the left, intersecting with HI 63.

H1 in central Honolulu
H1 midtown
Hawaii uses lane control at on-ramps. A solid line to the left to stop mainline movement into the merge lane.


Coming into town on eastbound H1.


Interstate H201 is the only four digit Interstate.


HI 72 shortly after the east end of H1.

North end of HI 93 West end of HI 930
There is no longer a connection around the northwest corner of Oahu (Kaena Point). On the left is the north end of HI 93 on the west side of the island, and on the right is the west end of HI 930 on the north side of the island.
