In the end...

H-3 is not just a highway, it is a modern marvel and signature of the Hawaiian Island of O'ahu. It services a host of people from commuters to the occasional tourist taking a vacation to paradise. As people drive through the H-3 they have no clue as to the planning and the constant obstacles that the project faced. H-3 proved to be a safer and more scenic route to the Windward side but was also a formidable task. H-3 required constant alternatives, close budget watches, and the pure archeological significance of the area. All in all, the H-3 was a good investment and a hard fought battle. One worth the time to enjoy as you cruse along its nearly 16 mile span. Upon reading this take a drive to the Windward side on the H-3 and marvel at the planning and technological advancements made to complete the very road you drive on.
