Hawaii SB2955 appropriates state and federal funds for relocating the Honoapiilani Highway to mitigate coastal hazards.

The bill addresses the chronic vulnerability of the Honoapiilani Highway to coastal hazards by authorizing the relocation of the highway inland. The legislature finds that previous protective measures have been inadequate and that relocation is the only feasible solution. The bill appropriates state and federal funds for this critical project, with the condition that federal funding must be received. It emphasizes that funds should be used exclusively for the relocation and not for ancillary projects.
