Aloha Mr Muramoto,
 
I want to update you on the course change for the upcoming Honolulu Century Ride, which is this Sunday.
 
We have been working with the City and County of Honolulu and Honolulu Police Department on a trial project to allow the outbound riders of the Honolulu Century Ride to remain on Kalanianaole Highway.
 
On this Sunday, September 25th, the makai lane from Lunalilo Home Road to Sandy Beach Park will be closed between 6am and 9am to vehicle traffic, to allow for the outbound riders to proceed directly to Sandy's. The makai lane will open by 9am, or earlier if the last rider passes before 8:30am.
 
The town-bound, mauka lane, will remain open to vehicle traffic to ensure access in and out of Hanauma Bay and Koko Head Shooting Complex.
 
The section from Lunalilo Home Road to Sandy Beach Park will have a number of course marshals and HPD special duty officers. Riders will be led in groups from Hanauma Bay to Lanai Lookout by an escort rider to ensure a safe and comfortable riding speed.
 
It would be great if you could help spread the word about this closure. We have it on our website at hbl.org/hcrkaiwi and hbl.org/hcrtraffic outlining the course change and traffic advisories.
 
Again, the town-bound, mauka lane will remain open to vehicles through the event. The makai lane will be closed from 6-9am. Meaning anyone accessing Hanauma and Koko Head Shooting Complex between 6am and 9am will have to follow detour signs from Hawaii Kai and use the town bound lane from Sandy's side.
 
If we can do anything else from our side to help ease the traffic rerouting, please let us know. Thank you for your understanding and support.
 
If you would like to talk in more detail, feel free to contact me at 445-2047

Hi guys,

There is an update to the traffic pattern for the Century Bike Ride on Sunday 9/25/16.

There will be access to the Range on Sunday morning, but you will have to be "escorted" by HPD to the Range.  So there might be a delay.

Here is a brief overview.  You can read the attachment for more detailed info.

Mike



  1.  Both Hanauma Bay and KKHD Gun Range will be accessible to local traffic only.
  2.  Entry to both locations will be from Kalani Hwy / Sandy Beach side (west bound).
  3.  There will be no access in the east bound direction.
  4.  All vehicles travelling east bound on Kalani Hwy will be forced to turn left at Lunalilo Home Road.
  5.  They will need to take the loop via Lunalilo Home Road / Kealahou and then back onto Kalani Hwy / towards Sandy Beach (west bound).
  6.  All motorists needing access to either Hanauma Bay or KKHD gun range will be stopped by HPD at Sandy Beach near the Blow Hole.
  7.  Special Duty HPD solo bike officers will then coordinate and escort motorists west bound towards Hanauma Bay and/or KKHD gun range.

Please refer to the attachment.


  1.  HPD will have two Special Duty officers at Hanauma Bay to direct traffic into the parking lot.
  2.  Vehicles needing to leave Hanauma Bay can exit by turning left and proceeding in the west bound direction on Kalani Hwy.
  3.  This modified traffic control measure will be in place from 0600 hour to 0900 hours on Sunday 9-25-16.
