Beach Road from Hawaiian Beaches to HPP would not require much work to make it drivable as a one lane road:
1) At Beach Road in Hawaiian Beaches about 1/4 mile of road base material should be spread, as right now it turns into a swamp whenever it rains.
2) For the next few miles there are a number of rough spots in the road only passable with a 4 wheel drive, they would need to be smoothed out. Also the branches from strawberry guava and other trees reach into the roadway.
3) The last 1.5 miles before it reaches Maku'u is not too bad, much of it is already wide enough for two cars to pass each other - - slowly.
To make it a two lane road all of the way from Hawaiian Beaches to HPP would take some work however.
