The Akoni Pule Highway, Hawaii State Highway Route 270, is the main road along the North Kohala Coast on the Island of Hawaii from Kawaihae to Upolu Point and then on to Pololū Valley Lookout. The entire route is 27.0 miles (43.5 km) long. ==History== Prior to the 1970s, the only means of driving to North Kohala District was along the winding, narrow Kohala Mountain Road (then Route 25, now 250). The Hawaii Department of Transportation already had plans for a coastal Route 11 along the Kohala Peninsula in the early-1960s to connect with Routes 25 and 27 in Hāwī. However, about the only action taken over the next ten years was the reässignment of highway shield numbers and assigning number 270 to the proposed highway. Akoni Pule (1906–1971), the State legislator who represented North Kohala from 1947 to 1965, pushed for a safer alternative to Kohala Mountain Road and a second access to the towns of Hāwī and Kapaau. He was also instrumental in providing the necessary state and federal funds to complete construction. The new road was dedicated in his honor in July 1973.
