Paving crews fixed 305 lane-miles of crumbling, degraded city-owned streets across Oahu in 2014, according to end-of-year data provided by city officials.

That tally, part of a Design and Construction Department report, keeps the crews on course to repave some 1,500 lane miles of the island’s worst city roads during a five-year period. Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell first set that goal in January 2013.

The city’s repaving push does not include state-controlled roads such as the H-1 freeway and Kalanianaole and Kamehameha highways, which were similarly neglected before crews launched efforts in the past couple of years to finally fix those thoroughfares and bring some relief to the vehicle owners who drive on them.

Last year crews were able to repave a record 398 lane miles as the city looked to dig its way out of a road-repair hole created years ago, when both the city and state put off necessary routine work for more than a decade. 

The city’s Department of Facility Maintenance, meanwhile, reported patching more than 36,800 potholes in 2014.
