Gov. Ige with federal, state and county partners at Hanapepe River Bridge.
The Hawai‘i Department of Transportation (HDOT) celebrated the start last month of the Hanapepe River Bridge project on Kaua‘i — a collaboration between HDOT and the Federal Highway Administration’s (FWHA) Central Federal Lands Division.
“We are very grateful for this partnership to replace the 80-year-old bridge, and we look forward to working with FHWA on other statewide highway projects,” said Governor Ige. The project is projected for completion in summer 2020. The cost is $35.2 million, 80 percent of which is provided by federal funding and 20 percent from state funding.
