Hawaii Belt Road 4445228 225954812 2008-07-16T04:56:28Z Polihale 751168 /* Highway 19 */ {{Cleanup|date=September 2007}} [[Image:HI-11.svg|100px|right]][[Image:HI-19.svg|100px|right]][[Image:HI-190.svg|100px|right]] The '''Hawai{{okina}}i Belt Road''' is an alternate name for the '''Māmalahoa Highway''' and consists of [[Hawaii State Highways|Hawai{{okina}}i State Highways]] [11], [19], and [190] that encircles the [[Hawaii (island)|Island of Hawai{{okina}}i]]. The southern section, between [[Hilo, Hawaii|Hilo]] and [[Kailua-Kona, Hawaii|Kailua-Kona]] is numbered as [[#Highway 11|State Highway 11]]. The section between Hilo and [[Waimea, Hawaii|Waimea]] is [[#Highway 19|State Highway 19]]. Between Waimea and Kailua-Kona, the road is split in two: the original "mauka" route (now [[#Highway 190|State Highway 190]]) and a "makai" route [19], completed in [[1975]], which serves as access to the Kona/Kohala Coast resorts. (In the [[Hawaiian language]], "mauka" means "''towards the mountain''" and "makai" means "''towards the sea''". These terms are commonly used in travel directions.) Much of the '''Hawai{{okina}}i Belt Road''' through North Hilo and Hāmākua districts was built on the roadbed and bridges of an old rail line as part of the recovery from a tsunami that ravaged the island's northeast coast in 1946. Parts of the southern half of the Hawai{{okina}}i Belt Road were known during the Territorial days as the '''Ka{{okina}}ū Belt Road'''. Whilst the names "Hawai{{okina}}i Belt Road" and "Māmalahoa Highway" refer to the road system that encircles the entire island, many sections are also referenced by local names, shown in ''italics''. == History == '''Māmalahoa Highway''' is named for the royal decree by King [[Kamehameha I]] after an incident he and his party experienced in [[1783]]. As he prepared to unite the Islands of [[Hawaii|Hawai{{okina}}i]], Kamehameha I would conduct shoreline raids on the neighboring [[Great Mahele|ahupua{{okina}}a]] (traditional land divisions). It was on one such incursion that the King’s warriors encountered two local fishermen along the [[Puna]] coast. The two fled to warn others of the pending attack and Kamehameha and his men took chase. Whilst they crossed a [[lava]] field, one of the King’s feet got caught in a crevice and became stuck. The fishermen, seizing the opportunity to retaliate, returned and attacked. In the ensuing brawl, one of the King’s steersmen was killed and Kamehameha himself received a blow to the head that was so hard that it splintered the man’s weapon – a solid [[koa]] canoe paddle. The two Puna men escaped. Kamehameha I opted not to retaliate but instead took this as a divine lesson: The strong must not mistreat the weak, his people must be assured protection from harm’s way in their pursuits and that safe passage must be everyone’s entitlement. A decade later, King Kamehameha the Great, upon reflecting on his deliverance that day in Puna and on the memory of his fallen warrior, proclaimed '''[[Mamalahoe|Ke Kānāwai Māmalahoe]]''' – ''the Law of the Splintered Paddle'' – at Kahale{{okina}}iole{{okina}}ole in the Kaipalaoa area of [[Hilo]]. '''KE KĀNĀWAI MĀMALAHOE:''' ''E nā kānaka'' ''E mālama {{okina}}oukou i ke Akua,'' ''A e mālamaho{{okina}}i ke kanaka nui a me ke kanaka iki;'' ''E hele ka {{okina}}elemakule, ka luahine a me ka kama'' ''A moe i ke ala'' ''{{okina}}A{{okina}}ohe mea nanā e ho{{okina}}opilikia.'' ''Hewa no, make !'' '''THE LAW OF THE SPLINTERED PADDLE:''' ''O my people'' ''Honour thy God,'' ''Respect alike [the rights of] the great man and the humble man;'' ''See to it that the old man, the aged woman and the child'' ''Sleep by the side of the path'' ''Sans the fear of harm.'' ''Disobey, die !'' Ke Kānāwai Māmalahoe is considered such an important [[law]] to the [[Native Hawaiians|Hawaiians]] that at the [[1978]] [[Constitutional convention (political custom)|Constitutional Convention]] it was added to the [[Constitution]] of Hawai{{okina}}i. In it, the law protects the public and the safety of all who travel throughout the Islands, including fishermen, gatherers, hunters and visitors alike. :'''Hawai{{okina}}i Constitution (Article IX, Section 10) - Public Safety''' :''The Law of the Splintered Paddle,'' Ke Kānāwai Māmalahoe, ''[as] decreed by Kamehameha I, [that] every elderly person, woman and child lie by the roadside in safety, shall be a unique and living symbol of the State's concern for public safety. The State shall have the power to provide for the safety of the people from crimes against persons and property.'' :(Add ''ConCon 1978'' and election [[November 7|7th November]], 1978.) == Highway 11 == The MILE Ø marker is at the intersection of '''Kamehameha Avenue''' [19], Banyan Drive and '''''Kanoelehua Avenue''''' in [[Hilo, Hawaii|Hilo]]. Highway 11 then proceeds along '''''Kanoelehua Avenue''''' towards [[Keaau, Hawaii|Kea{{okina}}au]] where it becomes '''''Volcano Highway''''' near MILE 4 before crossing into [[Puna, Hawaii|Puna District]]. '''''Volcano Highway''''' intersects with the terminus of '''Kea{{okina}}au-Pāhoa Road [130]''' past MILE 6 and '''Old Kea{{okina}}au-Pāhoa Road [139]''', then continues through the towns of [[Kurtistown, Hawaii|Kurtistown]], [[Mountain View, Hawaii|Mountain View]], [[Glenwood, Hawaii|Glenwood]] and [[Volcano Village|Volcano]]. Just beyond the [[Kau|Ka{{okina}}ū District]] line, the entrance to [[Hawaii Volcanoes National Park|Hawai{{okina}}i Volcanoes National Park]] at MILE 28 marks another name change, back to '''''Māmalahoa Highway'''''. The two lane road crests (4024 ft/1226M) just before the MILE 30 marker and then heads down a l—o—n—g downhill stretch through the Ka{{okina}}ū [[Desert]] towards the [[black sand]]s of [[Punaluu Beach Park|Punalu{{okina}}u Beach Park]], passing [[macadamia]] orchards near the town of [[Pahala|Pāhala]] at MILE 51 and the [[SeaMountain Resort]] in [[Ninole, Hawaii|Nīnole]] at MILE 56. Next are [[Naalehu|Nā{{okina}}ālehu]] (MILE 63), the southernmost community in the USA, and [[Waiohinu, Hawaii|Wai{{okina}}ōhinu]] (MILE 65) which was a favoured retreat for [[Mark Twain]]. A winding uphill climb yields to a meandering country lane were '''South Point Road''', near MILE 69, leads to [[Ka Lae]]. Another comfortable stretch of two lane road and a return to highway speeds begins past the MILE 71 marker. '''''Māmalahoa Highway''''' crosses [[Mauna Loa]]'s 1907 Lava Flow — there is a beautiful scenic point at MILE 75 — before passing through [[Hawaiian Ocean View, Hawaii|Hawaiian Ocean View Estates]] between '''Tiki Lane''' and '''Aloha Boulevard'''. Just past MILE 82 is the [[Kona District, Hawaii|South Kona District]] line. Starting at MILE 89, '''''Māmalahoa Highway''''' becomes quite twisty-turny with a number of sharp curves and steep drop-off along the "makai" side of the road. Many small fishing villages dot the coast, including [[Milolii, Hawaii|Miloli{{okina}}i]], [[Papa Bay|Pāpā Bay]], [[Kona Paradise]] and [[Hookena|Ho{{okina}}okena]]. The [[macadamia]] orchards soon give way to another tree crop. This is [[Kona coffee|Kona Coffee]] Country. '''Keala o Keawe Road [160]''', just shy of MILE 104, serves as access to [[Puuhonua o Honaunau|Pu{{okina}}uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historic Park]] and [[List of Registered Historic Places in Hawaii|St. Benedict’s Painted Catholic Church]]. Further along is the town of [[Captain Cook, Hawaii|Captain-Cook]], named for the famed English explorer [[Captain James Cook|Capt. James Cook]], RN. '''Nāpō{{okina}}opo{{okina}}o Road [160]''' leads down to [[Hōnaunau-Nāpo'opo'o, Hawai'i|Nāpō{{okina}}opo{{okina}}o]] and [[Kealakekua Bay]], site of the [[Kealakekua Bay#Captain Cook|Cook Monument]]. After MILE 111 come the towns of [[Kealakekua]], [[Kainaliu, Hawaii|Kainaliu]] and [[Honalo, Hawaii|Honalo]]. At "Coffee Junction" (MILE 114), '''Māmalahoa Highway''' continues straight and eventually becomes [[Hawaii Route 180|Highway 180]], whilst Highway 11 veers to left and becomes '''''Kuakini Highway'''''. A somewhat steep descent off Pu{{okina}}uloa drops into the town of [[Kailua-Kona, Hawaii|Kailua-Kona]]. Just past '''Lako Street''' is where '''Kuikini Highway''' branches to the left and Highway 11 becomes '''''Queen Ka{{okina}}ahumanu Highway'''''. In the vicinity of MILE 121, '''Hualālai Road [182]''' (incorrectly signed as "180") crosses at an exaggerated angle (a rare [[Concurrency (road)|concurrent]] route). Highway 11 finally reaches the [[Crossroads (culture)|crossroads]] of the '''''“Queen K”''''' and '''Palani Road''', pinpointing the termini of all three ''Hawai{{okina}}i Belt Road'' route numbers. *TOTAL MILES = 122.3 (196.9kM). == Highway 19 == Tucked away at the gates to [[Hilo, Hawaii|Hilo]] Wharf on '''''[[Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana'ole|Kūhiō]] Street''''' is the MILE Ø marker for Highway 19. One block later, it then turns right onto '''''Kalaniana{{okina}}ole Avenue''''', running between the waters of Hilo Bay and the Runway 8/26 of [[Hilo International Airport]], before crossing '''Kanoelehua Avenue''' [11] and '''Banyan Drive''' where the name changes to '''''Kamehameha Avenue'''''. Flanking the Wailoa River Bridge is the [[Tsunami#1960 - Chilean tsunami|Tsunami]] Memorial Clock with its hands frozen in time at the moment the killer waves struck early morning on [[May 23|23rd May]], [[1960]]. The highway continues along '''''Kamehameha Avenue''''', paralleling a closed section of '''Bayfront Highway''' (constructed but never opened, it is used as access and parking for Hilo Bayfront Park), then turns right onto '''''[[Bernice Pauahi Bishop|Pauahi]] Street''''' before quickly turning left onto the open section of '''''Bayfront Highway'''''. NOTE: Bayfront Highway, which serves as a [[Bypass (road)|bypass]] for the [[downtown]] business district of [[Hilo]], is often closed to traffic by the [[Hawaii County|Hawai{{okina}}i]] Police Department in times of high surf. Passed the intersection with '''Waiānuenue Avenue [200]''', Highway 19 crosses the "Singing~" or "Whistling Bridge" — a converted railroad [[plate girder bridge]] whose metal grate roadway causes [[tire]]s to “sing” as vehicles pass over it. Leaving Hilo, the route assumes the name '''''Hawai{{okina}}i Belt Road''''', leaving '''Māmalahoa Highway''' to the older [[decommissioned highway|decommissioned]] portions of the original thoroughfare. Many former [[sugar plantation]] towns dot the highway, including [[Wainaku, Hawaii|Wainaku]], [[Paukaa, Hawaii|Pauka{{okina}}a]] and [[Papaikou, Hawaii|Pāpa{{okina}}ikou]]. Shortly after the MILE 7 marker, part of the old '''Māmalahoa Highway''' crosses '''''Hawai{{okina}}i Belt Road'''''. The road to the right leads down the “Onomea Scenic Drive,” a four-mile (6½ kM) [[loop route|loop]] road that crosses several one-lane wooden bridges and past the [[Hamakua Coast#Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden|Hawai{{okina}}i Tropical Botanical Garden]] overlooking Onomea Bay before returning to '''''Hawai{{okina}}i Belt Road''''' at MILE 10 in [[Pepeekeo, Hawaii|Pepe{{okina}}ekeō]]. [[Image:Hawaii_Belt_Road_over_kolek.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Hawaii Belt Road crosses over Kolekole Beach Park]]'''''Hawai{{okina}}i Belt Road''''' meets the rugged [[Hamakua Coast|Hāmākua]] coastline near MILE 12. A left turn onto '''Honomū Road [220]''' leads to [[Akaka Falls State Park|{{okina}}Akaka Falls State Park]], home of the namesake 442-foot (135-metre) tall waterfall and the slightly shorter Kahūnā Falls. These waters empty in the [[Pacific Ocean]] at [[Hamakua Coast#Kolekole Beach Park|Kolekole Beach Park]] past MILE 14. The [[Hakalau, Hawaii|Hakalau]] Bridge carries Highway 19 from the South [[Hilo]] District to North Hilo District. A number of cascades are visible from the road on the “mauka” side of the highway. [[Hamakua Coast#World Botanical Garden .2F Umauma Falls|Umauma Falls]] is inside the [[World Botanical Gardens]] but from the Umauma Bridge (between MILE 16 and MILE 17), two just-as-beautiful falls are seen. Between MILE 18 and MILE 19 is [[Nānue Stream]] with another picturesque waterfall. The highway negotiates three [[horseshoe curve|"horseshoe" curves]]: Maulua (MILE 22), Laupāhoehoe (MILE 26) and Ka{{okina}}awali{{okina}}i (MILE 28). [[Maulua Gulch]] has a small waterfall emptying into the ocean (visible from the Hilo side by looking across the gulch) and another in the back part of the gorge near the base of the radio tower. Also, an abandoned railroad [[tunnel]] is sometimes visible from the Hāmākua side). The [[Hawaii Consolidated Railway|Laupāhoehoe Railroad Museum]] is located on the “mauka” side past MILE 25. On the other side of [[Laupāhoehoe Gulch]], an access road leads down to Laupāhoehoe Point Beach Park where the victims of the [[Tsunami#1946 - Pacific tsunami|1946 “April Fool’s Day” tsunami]] are memorialized. Past [[Kaawalii Gulch|Ka{{okina}}awali{{okina}}i Gulch]] lie the much-welcomed [[passing lane]]s as Highway 19 goes by the old sugarmill town of [[Ookala, Hawaii|{{okina}}O{{okina}}ōkala]]. The [[Hamakua|Hāmākua]] District begins on the opposite side of Ka{{okina}}ula Bridge (MILE 30). Highway [[speed]]s are now the norm but caution must be observed whilst crossing the narrow “Curved Bridge” near MILE 32. This area is rich in history from the days when [[sugar]] was king. Hamlets with names like [[Kukuiau, Hawaii|Kūka{{okina}}iau]], [[Paauilo, Hawaii|Pa{{okina}}auilo]], [[Kalopa, Hawaii|Kalōpā]] and [[Paauhau, Hawaii|Pā{{okina}}auhau]] were once sweet with the sounds of [[plantation]] [[worker]]s from places like the [[Philippines]], [[China]] and [[Japan]]. '''Māmane Street [240]''' (MILE 42) spurs off to the right to become the [[main street]] of [[Honokaa, Hawaii|Honoka{{okina}}a]] before providing access to [[Waipio Valley|Waipi{{okina}}o Valley]]. Across from Tex Drive-In, '''Old Māmalahoa Highway''' branches “mauka” of the '''''Hawai{{okina}}i Belt Road''''' to wind through the rugged hills of [[Ahualoa, Hawaii|Āhualoa]] and is a pleasant — if not slower — route to [[Waimea, Hawai'i County, Hawai'i|Waimea]]. Meanwhile, '''''Hawai{{okina}}i Belt Road''''' makes its way through [[fog]]-shrouded [[eucalyptus]] stands. The '''Old Māmalahoa Highway''' rejoins Highway 19 near MILE 52 where they cross into [[Kohala, Hawaii|South Kohala District]]. Now referred again as '''''Māmalahoa Highway''''', Highway 19 continues into the town of Waimea (known as [[Kamuela, HI|Kamuela]] only by the [[USPS]]), the [[headquarters]] for Parker Ranch and the heart of [[paniolo#paniolo|paniolo]] country. [[Image:Hawaii_Belt_Road_Coral_Lava.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Graffiti created with white [[coral]] and black [[lava]] along Hawaii Belt Road near [[Waikoloa]]]]At MILE 57, the route turns right onto '''''Lindsey Road''''' (see [[#Highway 190|State Highway 190]]). One block down, Highway 19 spurs left onto '''''Kawaihae Road''''', past Waimea's own “[[restaurant row]]” and before starting downhill towards the Kona/Kohala Coast. Just beyond MILE 59 is a “[[T junction|Y]]” junction with '''Kohala Mountain Road [250]''' in front of [[Hawaii Preparatory Academy|Hawai{{okina}}i Preparatory Academy]]. '''''[[Monarch|Queen]] [[Ka'ahumanu|Ka{{okina}}ahumanu]] Highway''''' begins at the "[[T junction|T]]" intersection with [[Hawaii State Highways#State highways on Hawai'i|State Highway 270]] past MILE 67 outside [[Kawaihae]]. Completed in [[1975]], “'''''The Queen K'''''” connects the resort properties of [[Mauna Kea Beach Hotel|Mauna Kea Beach]] (MILE 68), Mauna Lani (MILE 73), [[Hilton Waikoloa Village|Waikōloa Beach]] (MILE 76) and Ka{{okina}}ūpūlehu (MILE 87) with the [[Kona International Airport|Keāhole-Kona International Airport]] (MILE 83) and the town of [[Kailua-Kona]]. Some of the noteworthy beaches include the likes of [[Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area|Hāpuna]], 69~ and [[Nude beach|67-Beach]], Holoholokai, [[List of beaches in Hawaii|{{okina}}Anaeho{{okina}}omalu]], Makalawena, [[List of Hawaii state parks|Kekaha Kai]] and [[Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park|Kaloko-Honokōhau]]. The terminus of Highway 19 is at the [[Crossroads (culture)|crossroads]] of '''Palani Road [190]''' (MILE 100) where '''''Queen Ka{{okina}}ahumanu Highway''''' continues as [[#Highway 11|State Highway 11]]. *TOTAL MILES = 100.0 (160.9kM). == Highway 190 == The continuation of '''''Māmalahoa Highway''''' from the '''Lindsey Road [19]''' [[Intersection (road)|intersection]] is the beginning of [[Hawaii State Highways#State highways on Hawai'i|Highway 190]] with the MILE Ø marker posted on the “[[Chevron Corporation|Chevron]]” corner. This is the original [[Hilo, Hawaii|Hilo]]-to-[[Kailua-Kona, Hawaii|Kona]] link which served as Highway 19 until the route was reassigned in [[1975]] to the newly-opened '''Queen Ka{{okina}}ahumanu Highway'''. The road subsequently runs past [[Camp Tarawa]], the [[Parker Ranch]] headquarters and the [[Waimea-Kohala Airport]] before traversing the rolling [[pasture]]lands of the [[Kohala, Hawaii|South Kohala District]]. Few intersections are found along the next twenty miles (32 kM). '''[[Hawaii State Highway 200|Saddle Road]] [200]''' comes to its terminus near MILE 6 and '''[[Waikoloa Village, Hawaii|Waikōloa]] Road''' ends its twelve-mile climb from the Queen Ka{{okina}}ahumanu Highway at '''''Māmalahoa Highway'''''’s MILE 11 marker. There are some tricky “[[S curve|S-curves]]” as the old road passes [[Puu Lani Ranch|Pu{{okina}}u Lani Ranch]] (MILE 20) in [[List of places in Hawaii|Pu{{okina}}uanahulu]] and the entrance to [[List of places in Hawaii|Pu{{okina}}uwa{{okina}}awa{{okina}}a Ranch]]. A long narrow strip of [[asphalt]] stretches across the windswept [[rangeland]]s and [[lava]] fields covered with [[Fountain Grass|fountain grass]]. As the road passes through a stand of [[eucalyptus]] and [[Metrosideros polymorpha|{{okina}}ohi{{okina}}a]] trees near MILE 31, the “mauka” neighbourhoods of the North [[Kona]] District come into view: [[Kalaoa]], Kona Palasades Estates, Koloko Mauka and [[List of places in Hawaii|Honokōhau]]. On the other side of MILE 35, a [[traffic light]] is at the top of '''Hina Lani''' “[[Costco]]” '''Street'''. A block later, '''Māmalahoa Highway''' turns left and becomes [[Hawaii State Highways#State highways on hawai'i|Highway 180]] whilst Highway 190 continues straight, becoming '''''Palani Road'''''. The route descends rapidly towards [[Kailua-Kona]], making many quick turns and narrow curves. '''''Palani Road''''' meets '''Queen [[Kaahumanu|Ka{{okina}}ahumanu]] Highway [11/19]''', marking the end of the route ('''Palani Road''' continues “makai” to its junction with '''Kuakini Highway''' and '''Ali{{okina}}i Drive'''). *TOTAL MILES = 38.7 (62.3kM). == Junctions == State Highways are marked as '''[××]''' whilst County funded roads are with (××). Former or unmarked routes are indicated by an asterisk. *'''HIGHWAY 11''' {| class=wikitable |- !Mile !Town ![[Image:HI-blank.svg|20px]] !Street Name !Point(s) of Interest |- |align=center|Ø |[[Hilo,
