Kuhio Highway Emergency Repairs
HDOT crews continue working as quickly as possible to clear and repair Kuhio Highway on Kauai’s North Shore following historic flooding that begin April 14, 2018. Limited single lane access on Kuhio Highway is currently available to local residents, emergency responders, and approved permittees at designated times. Access through the restricted area of Kuhio Highway remains prohibited to visitors and vacation rental customers in the Wainiha and Haena areas until the highway is reopened to all traffic without escorted convoys, which anticipated in October 2018. We thank everyone involved for their patience and kokua as we safely work to restore normalcy for all impacted.

Hawaii State Historic Bridge Inventory & Evaluation
The Hawaii State Historic Bridge Inventory & Evaluation has evaluated all state and county bridges statewide built before 1968 and assessed their preservation values to assist and provide guidance in HDOT’s future project development. A total of 708 bridges were identified and evaluated for eligibility into the Hawaii State Register of Historic Places or the National Register of Historic Places. The effort recently received a Preservation Commendation from the Historic Hawaii Foundation’s 2014 Preservation Honor Award. Visit the project’s Facebook page for more details.
