The expanded Haleakala Highway on Maui has opened after years of planning and construction.  I just arrived back on Maui and what a treat it is to have this divided 4-lane highway from Kahului to upcountry Pukalani.

The project increasing lanes from 3 to 4 has been underway for 4 years.  The 5.5 mile project cost $31.8 million.  For months now it looked ready to go except for the orange cones blocking traffic from using the new lanes.  Things move a little slower in Hawaii than on the mainland so patience is a good thing to have.

Earlier this year a 4-lane highway was completed leading from the center of commerce, Kahului, to the resort area of Kihei.  The combination of these 2 improved highways is making a big difference in traffic flow on the island. 

Traffic issues on Maui are becoming a thing of the past except for the West Side Lahaina and Kaanapali areas.  And with tourism down, now is the ideal time to come visit.

Aloha!
