history

Interstate H-1 on Ward Avenue

Interstate H-1 was the first freeway built in the Hawaiian Islands. The section that runs through downtown Honolulu was opened in 1953 under the name Mauka Arterial . When Hawaii became a state of the United States in 1959, the road was given the interstate designation. Only the newly built sections also meet the freeway standard of the United States, which is comparable to that of the German highways.
