New highway to open in Kona
The new Ane Keohokalole Highway in Kona, which runs north and south between Henry Street and Kealakehe Parkway, will be open to traffic at 3 p.m. Saturday.
The Hawaii County Police Department says it wants the public to be aware that the speed limit on the new highway is 35 mph and that the intersection at Kealakehe Parkway is a four-way stop.
Police officers will be stationed to enforce the speed limit and the four-way stop during an unspecified time period following the opening of the highway.
