Giantfan13 Posted September 9, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I know a few of the regulars live in Hawaii. My wife brought up an interesting point while driving around the Islands. How do you have Interste Highways in Hawaii as it is just one state. It may sound like a foolish question but I have always thought an interstate was suppose to go from state to state. I'm sure this is a simple explaination. Any help????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinMK Posted September 9, 2006 #2 Share Posted September 9, 2006 The "interstate" highways in Hawaii get federal funding because they connect military bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ga_Girl Posted September 9, 2006 #3 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Yep--That's it! Before we moved here I thought the same thing...um, hello, there's no other state for this "interstate" to connect to! It's all about funding though. Otherwise they would have to be completely state funded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giantfan13 Posted September 9, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I knew there must be a logical explaination. Didn't thinkn they were going to build an interstate to California, and got stopped in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTE Posted September 10, 2006 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2006 is that it must be able to handle the weight and size of all types of military vehicles. KTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawaiiCruiseGuru Posted September 10, 2006 #7 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Hawaii having a interstate highway always confuses me also. I guess it really is just for the federal funding and military. Just another things that makes Hawaii unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
