Please be more specific?

Dubious

... the U.S. Army hastily built an access road in 1942 to service its Pōhakuloa Training Area and Bradshaw Army Airfield.

Sources say the base was built in 1955, so I will remove this. Further research shows that the military areas were to the west of PTA back then, moved inland to be farther from tourists, etc. See the article. W Nowicki (talk) 02:37, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

New part is the eastern side

While the western part of the road (mile 0 to mile 28) has been improved to modern standards, ...

Someone has anonymously added this twice now. All sources agree that the road is numbered starting from the east in Hilo, so it is the Hilo side (actually mp6 through 42) that have been redone. The western side is miles 42 to 53. I never drove it mysef, but this is totally consistent with my observations that Hilo is the power center on the island (the county seat, the federal building, mayors come from that side, etc.) If personal observation shows that all the state and US Military documents are lying, please go to the local press and break the scandal, do not try to make this claim here unless you can supply a verifiable source. Now perhaps we should call this the "central portion" since the first few miles have been bypassed by Hawaii Route 2000 instead? Aloha. W Nowicki (talk) 02:37, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"The western side is miles 42 to 53" My math mistake - I thought the markers ran the other way. The western part is new, almost polished pavement with 3 rows of reflectors on it. Lights up like an airport at night. 115.177.151.104 (talk) 07:43, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thanks for the clarification: it seems like they did a quick repaving andstriping job to the old alignment around Waiki'i, since the re-alignment was taking so long. So I will try to distinguish the re-alignment from repaving, which should be agreeable I hope. W Nowicki (talk) 02:43, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rental car use

"Many rental car companies used to prohibit use of their cars on Saddle Road, but some now permit use of the road."

Budget said, very emphatically, NO Saddle Road, Observatory, or unpaved driving. Even provided a map. Maybe someone who lives on the Big Island can make some phone calls? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.177.151.104 (talk) 08:00, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Junction list

It needs to be redone to comply with MOS:RJL. Imzadi 1979 → 02:10, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
