Kamehameha Highway


Kamehameha Highway is a main highway on Oahu, Hawaii. It runs to the suburban and rural areas. It begins with Nimitz Highway close to Pearl Harbor and the Hickam Air Force Base of Honolulu. It helps to serve the western suburbs which are the older section of Oahu. It then turns north towards Oahu Central Valley to take visits to the North Shore. From the North Shore it turns north east to bring visitors to the northern tip of the island before turning southeast around Kane'ohe Bay.

Route 99 or Kamehameha Highway will begin at the interchange of Interstate H-1. It takes visitors past sites like the USS Arizona Memorial, Ford Island, USS Bowfin, and Aloha Stadium. As one continues on the highway they can reach Aiea, Pearl City, and go past the second largest shopping mall in Hawaii- Pearlridge Center.

From there an interchange to H-2 is provided so that visitors can drive around Waipio and Mililani along the Wheeler Army Airfield area and through Wahiawa. It turns into Route 80 as Route 99 bypasses Wahiawa to the west before becoming a part of Kamehameha Highway near Whitmore Village close to the sugarcane and pineapple fields.
