Hawaii

HIDOT doesn't have it yet on their current directory for state owned highways on Oahu:

Yesterday, HDOT opened Pa'akea Road after long delays with land ownership. The road is now upgraded to current standards, although I'm not sure about the bumpy section that used to be privately owned yet. A very, very big step towards helping westside residents get around. Now when something happens over on Farrington near Nanakuli, you'll have another option to avoid the chaos, as long as it doesn't happen further down near the valley.

There's still a few more final touches that need to be done, like the railings, but as for now, the road is good to go.

One mile south of the newly opened road is the incomplete Mohihi Street (#10 on the list I made a few weeks back). After the Lahaina wildfires and the recent tsunami warning, I'd imagine that this general area would be a nightmare for evacuation and a potential "ground zero" in the event of disaster (ex. Kuhua Camp), especially with how old this area is. I found that back in 2015 this in fact was considered, but it never left the "recommended" actions group.
