SR 51 Hawaii Senate · 2024 Regular Session

REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO PRIORITIZE REMEDIATION OF THE FLOODING ISSUES PRESENT ON ROUTE 11 AROUND MILE POST SIXTY AS A SAFETY PROJECT.

This Senate resolution asks the Hawaii Department of Transportation to treat flooding on Route 11 near Mile Post 60 as a safety priority for repair. The bill highlights that this highway is a critical lifeline for residents in the Ka'u district, often closing due to water damage that blocks access to medical care and emergency evacuation routes. It directs the department to submit a detailed plan, including an estimated budget, to the Legislature by April 2025. Copies of this request are to be sent to the Director of Transportation and the Mayor of Hawaii County.
