Kamehameha Highway is one of the main highways serving suburban and rural O‘ahu in the U.S. state of Hawaii. Starting from Nimitz Highway near Pearl Harbor and Hickam Air Force Base in Honolulu, it serves the island's older western suburbs, turning north across the O‘ahu Central Valley to the North Shore. At the North Shore, Kamehameha Highway heads northeast around the northern tip of O‘ahu, then southeast to and just beyond Kāne‘ohe Bay on the windward coast.
Note that Kamehameha Highway is a "fractured" roadway and that the discussion below is for its more well-known route as State Highway 99. Kamehameha Highway actually starts east of the southern terminus noted below, at the intersection of Dillingham Boulevard and Puuhale Road near the Oahu Community Correctional Center in Kalihi continuing west until the H-1 Viaduct. It is said that this very short segment of Kamehameha Highway is a remnant left over from the days before construction of the elevated H-1 Freeway Airport Viaduct. Indeed, some long-time locals will maintain that the east-bound section of roadway under the Viaduct is Nimitz Highway whereas the west-bound section is Kamehemeha Highway. Since there are no businesses or other addresses along the west-bound section under the Viaduct, there is nothing to support this assertion.
As Route 99, Kamehameha Highway begins at its southern terminus at the Pearl Harbor interchange of Interstate H-1 near Pearl Harbor and Hickam Air Force Base. The highway runs north past the Pearl Harbor historic sites such as the USS Arizona Memorial and the USS Bowfin, the Admiral Clarey Bridge to Ford Island leading to the USS Missouri, and Aloha Stadium. The highway then turns west through the suburbs of Aiea and Pearl City, passing Pearlridge Center, the state's second largest shopping mall.
