Saddle Road is the shortest and most direct cross-island route between east and west Hawaii and an important cross-island link between Hilo and the residential and resort areas along the Kona and Kohala coast. This 7-mile project removes conflicts between military training and the traveling public and provides a safe cross-island highway for the community.
