Hawaii transportation repairs continue after Tropical Storm Lowell
Roads, airports, and harbors across Hawaii are mostly back to normal after the storm, which is good news for travelers and businesses, though Kauai's North Shore and Molokai's harbor are still cut off.
- Flights are running normally again statewide after inter-island service to Kauai was suspended during the storm.
- Farrington Highway on Oahu reopened after crews hauled away about 2,000 tons of sand dumped by storm surge.
- Kauai's North Shore is still the worst spot, with landslides, downed trees, and power poles blocking roads.
- Kaunakakai Harbor on Molokai lost part of its access road to a large sinkhole, cutting off the weekly container shipments the island depends on.
- Most damage was debris rather than broken infrastructure, so repairs are moving faster than feared.
Outlook: Crews aim to clear Kauai's North Shore within days and reopen the Molokai harbor within a week, with shoulder repairs on Maui finishing this weekend.
