Labor Day 2026 in Hawaii

What the Hawaii DOT feed carried over the holiday weekend.

Driving across Hawaii

H-1 is Oahu's spine, from Kalaeloa past Pearl Harbor and the airport through downtown Honolulu to Kahala. H-2 heads north from H-1 toward Wahiawa, and H-3 crosses the Koolau Range to Kaneohe. On Maui, the Hana Highway, Routes 36 and 360, winds the Road to Hana. On the Big Island, Route 11 and Route 19 circle the island through Kona and Hilo.

What the season does to Hawaii's highways

Hawaii's hazards are tropical. Heavy rain floods the low crossings, rockfall and landslides hit the coastal cliff roads, and the Big Island sees the occasional lava-adjacent closure. On the Hana Highway and Kauai's north shore there is often exactly one way in and one way out, so a single closure changes the whole day's plan.

Before a Hawaii road trip

  1. Check the map above for anything red on your route, then open Hawaii DOT for the DOT's own detour and restriction text.
  2. Look at the road where you can. MileCheck's camera maps cover 27 states; Hawaii DOT may carry Hawaii's own.
  3. Know how to say where you are. Dispatch, 911 and tow companies ask for the route, the direction and the mile marker. How to report your location on the highway.
  4. Carry the app. The mile marker works offline in all 50 states, and the same Hawaii DOT alerts show on your route as you drive.

What September looked like

Over 25 daily snapshots from September 1 to 25, 2026, MileCheck's archive of the Hawaii DOT feed held 13 unique reports, including 13 work-zone reports. The routes with the most reports were HI-92 and HI-30. Counts reflect what the feed publishes, so a state whose DOT posts only closures shows only closures. Read the September Highway Report.

Questions, answered

Is the highway closed in Hawaii right now?

The map above shows every full closure Hawaii DOT is publishing as a red marker, crashes in orange, and weather and hazard alerts in blue and purple. Closures the DOT has posted for a future date are listed as scheduled, and ramp and lane closures sit under the toggle so the list stays readable. It reloads every five minutes. If the feed cannot be reached the page says so instead of showing an empty map. For the official list, open Hawaii DOT.

Where do I check Hawaii road conditions?

Hawaii DOT is the official source, and dialing 511 in most states reaches the same information by phone. This page reads the same Hawaii DOT feed and adds the corridor and pass pages, and your own mile marker if you carry the app.

How often does this page update?

Every five minutes. MileCheck's server fetches the Hawaii DOT feed, converts it to one format shared by all 50 states, and caches it for five minutes. Each alert also carries the time the DOT last updated it, shown in the list.

Does the MileCheck app show these alerts?

Yes. The app shows the same Hawaii DOT alerts on your route, ahead of your position, with the mile marker you are passing. The mile marker works offline in all 50 states. Live alerts are part of MileCheck Premium, $49.99 a year or $9.99 a month after a 7-day free trial.

Know exactly where you are — live

Your mile marker shows even offline. Hawaii DOT alerts on your route and the nearest camera are part of MileCheck Premium and need a connection to update. Runs on CarPlay and Android Auto.
