Bill > SCR73

This Concurrent Resolution formally requests the United States Department of Transportation, a federal agency responsible for national transportation policy and infrastructure, to investigate the safety of the bridges along the Hana Highway in Hawaii. The resolution highlights that the Hana Highway is a highly popular tourist route, experiencing significant traffic congestion and posing potential risks to both visitors and residents due to the condition of its numerous bridges, which number fifty-nine along its 64.4-mile length. This request is made in the context of a substantial federal infrastructure investment, including significant funding allocated for bridge repair and replacement. Certified copies of this resolution will be sent to various officials, including the U.S. Secretary of Transportation and state and county transportation directors.
