Hawaii Route 92
# Hawaii Route 92

Route 92 is a major east–west highway on the island of Oahu which begins at exit 15 off Interstate H-1 (H-1) in Honolulu. The western end of the highway is located at the gate to Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam and the eastern end is 0.6 miles (0.97 km) east of the Ala Wai Canal crossing in Waikiki. The western portion of the highway, west of Richards Street, is named the Nimitz Highway (in honor Chester Nimitz, the Pacific Fleet Admiral during World War II). East of Richards Street, Route 92 is also known as Ala Moana Boulevard.

## History

The route was constructed in the 1940s during World War II to serve military facilities and the local airport. There were plans in the 1960s to extend the road east of the Ala Moana Center mall toward H-1 once again, but those plans were dropped by the late 1970s.

## Route description

After exiting H-1, Route 92 goes past the Pearl Harbor Naval Base and Hickam Air Force Base gates. Route 92 goes under the Airport Viaduct (H-1) and serves primary route for Honolulu International Airport. Route 92 briefly runs underneath H-1 before exiting again at exit 18. Heading east, Route 92 enters into the Port of Honolulu and downtown Honolulu. After crossing the Ala Wai Canal to Waikiki, Route 92 ends, and county jurisdiction is transferred at that point.

## Major intersections

The entire route is in Honolulu, Honolulu County.
