With the ongoing road work, please anticipate possible delays and wait time on the highway. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
The Queen Ka’ahumanu Highway from South of Kealakehe Parkway to North of Keahole Airport Road is still an active Construction Area with a posted regulatory speed limit of 35 MPH. Although the majority of construction within the travel lanes are complete, we will continue to have workers on the shoulder lanes and in the median of the roadway every day for the next several weeks.
Please continue to help us keep motorists, bikers, pedestrians, and our workers safe by respecting the posted work zone speed limits. In addition, please remember that areas not open to traffic are active work areas. For your own safety, these areas are currently closed to the general public for all vehicular traffic and pedestrian traffic including mopeds, walking, biking, and jogging.
Please help to keep our roads and highways safe.
