Hawaii Route 93
Encyclopedia
Route 93 is a major east–west highway on the island of Oahu
which begins as Interstate H-1
terminates in Kapolei and ends at Kaena Point
on the extreme northwest end of Oahu, just past Makaha.
Route 93 is named the Farrington Highway for its entire length. However, it is only one section of the Farrington Highway; the Farrington Highway continues east past the southeast end of Route 93 to north of Pearl Harbor; and another section of the Farrington Highway is Hawaii Route 930 in the North Coast
of Oahu. Routes 93 and 930 are not connected -- there is a gap around Kaena Point
. There is an unpaved trail around Kaena Point, along the old Farrington Highway, that connects the two roads, but cars are not allowed on it, and the trail is washed out in several places.
