History
The Hawaii Department of Transportation, during the Lingle Administration, broke ground on the {{convert|2.5|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}}, six-lane highway on February 9, 2005. The highway was completed in three phases. The first phase included the completion of a new overpass to accommodate the new four-lane highway to pass under the H-1 freeway. The second phase built the four-lane highway from Kapolei Parkway up to the junction with Route 7110 and cost more than $12 million.{{cite news |title= Governor Lingle Releases Funds for North–South Road in Kapolei |url= http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/7032827/governor-lingle-releases-funds-for-north-south-road-in-kapolei |website= Hawaii News Now |date= n.d. |accessdate=December 31, 2014}} The third and final phase connected the second phase with the H-1 freeway. The highway was completed and dedicated on February 11, 2010, and named Kualakai Parkway.{{cite news |author= Advertiser Staff |date= February 12, 2010 |title= North–South Road Now Known as Kualakai Parkway |url= http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2010/Feb/12/ln/hawaii2120340.html |newspaper= Honolulu Star-Advertiser |accessdate= December 31, 2014}} The name Kualakai traditionally means "to unite people in new lands".
