Actually the Hilo port is the main port on the Big Island. The great majority of our freight comes in through Hilo, with the rest coming through Kawaihae.
As for the current Saddle Road, it doesn't
meet the AASHTO (http://www.transportation.org/) standards.
When completed it will meet those standards
for a two lane rural roadway.
I completely disagree on the dead man turn.
There is plenty of dead mans turn up there.
Those one way bridges are tricky too. I've
had people not yield there.
