Early Construction

Construction groundbreaking for Monitoring and Signal Operation Improvements, Median Fencing, and Kaahumanu Intersection Improvements is anticipated for June 2009.

How will improvements benefit pedestrians?

Although walking is a critical means of travel for many in the corridor, pedestrians are faced with various obstacles on a daily basis. The Kamehameha Highway Improvements Project will incorporate several elements to create a better experience for pedestrians and a more walkable community.
