50 years to renovate Hana's historic bridges

Historic bridges along Hana Highway are getting a structural make-over that is expected to take 50 years to complete.  The painstaking process of dismantling the bridges and re-constructing them will result in stronger, safer bridges while preserving the historic feel of the area and the bridges themselves.  


Unfortunately, this process will also have a dramatic impact on the trees along this historic highway.  


The Chair of TOC’s tree committee is consulting with the project manager, Fung Associates, to ensure that every possible protective measure is taken to keep trees in the ground.  As well as to ensure that where tree removals are necessary, replacement trees are planted when construction is complete.
