Tetsuo Harano Tunnels

Tetsuo Harano Tunnels

The Tetsuo Harano Tunnels are a pair of highway tunnels passing through the Ko‘olau Range on the island of O‘ahu. The tunnels are located on Interstate H-3, which connects Kaneohe with Interstate H-1 at Hālawa near Pearl Harbor, and are 4980 feet (1.5 km) long Kaneohe bound and 5165 feet (1.6 km) long Halawa bound.

The tunnels are named for Tetsuo Harano, a former state highways administrator who served the state for 52 years. The tunnels were briefly renamed for the former Governor of Hawaii John A. Burns but restored to the original name by Governor Linda Lingle after she took office.
