What, you don't like buying new shocks? I'm still assuming that that road will be part of the access route, but you're right, can't really figure it out from what we've seen so far. And what a shame, if perennial gadfly Isaac Hall had just butted out a few years ago, we would't be in this mess today as the runway extension would already be done

Ah, now I see. Finally read the maui News article from Tuesday and see how the access road will go. My two cents: Put in the stop lights at Hana Hwy and get this sucka built!

this? http://mauinews.com/page/content.det...t-traffic.html

$25 Million for an intersection with a traffic light?

Highway overpasses?


Check out the intersection options on p23:

Remember, this is Hawaii. Unless Maui is radically different from the Big Island, it takes three times as much money and five times as much time as elsewhere to do any road or highway improvements. By the time they finish, it will likely be obsolete.

No brah, it's the same. They've been repaving Honapi'ilani Hwy on the west side since last fall. It's done from Kapalua to Honokawai BUT the "temporary" lower speed limit signs of 35 MPH construction zone are still up. Usual shibai.

That wasn't mentioned in the discussion quoted in the Maui News.

But the Maui News article you mentioned gave us the link to be able to find the DOT files. ^

Reading the file, it sounds like they won't do the overpass .. which I think is a good thing for Maui. We don't have anything like that here, and nobody really wants it. The option with the loops would be good.

I just flew HA inter-island and really enjoyed the ability to fly HNL-OGG (stopover) then OGG-KOA (stopover) then KOA-HNL. It was good to do the OGG-KOA without having to go via HNL. I didnt notice any construction going on at OGG but I wasnt paying attention to the runway, more on the beautiful Maui scenery

Now if only they could put the ferry back in action and then we could skip the whole airport check in/TSA waste of time etc.

there's no runway construction yet. They have to talk about doing it for a few years, then figure out how to pay for it, then talk some more, then sleep on it, ...
