Route 76 - Fort Weaver Road
Hawaii Route 76 follows Fort Weaver Road south 6.617 miles from I-H1 and Route 750 (Kunia Road) between Village Park and Waipahu to the end of Fort Weaver Road at 'Ewa Beach Park and Popoi Place. Fort Weaver Road initially parallels the Mamala Bay coast line west between the NOAA Pacific Tsunami Warning Center and a strip of densely populated houses. Route 76 expands to four lanes at Ewa Beach Road before turning northward away from the coast and the community of 'Ewa Beach.
Fort Weaver Road expands from a five lane boulevard into a four lane, divided highway north of Keone'ula Boulevard and the Hoakalei Ocean Pointe development. Route 76 continues north by the Hawaii Prince Golf Club to the 'Ewa Gentry development and the 'Ewa Villages census designated place. Curving east by West Loch Estate, Route 76 passes through West Loch Golf Course to the West Loch Estates development along the West Loch of Pearl Harbor.
North of Laulaunui Street, Route 76 upgrades to a controlled access expressway. A parclo interchange (Exits 5/6 A) joins Fort Weaver Road with Farrington Highway (Route 7110) west toward Kapolei and (Route 7101) east to Waipahu. North beyond the RIRO intersection with Honowai Street east, Route 76 connects with Interstate H1 at a parclo interchange (Exit 5) across from Route 750 (Kunia Road).
Historically Route 76 continued north from Waipahu along Kunia Road to Schofield Barracks, Wheeler Army Airfield and Route 99 (Wilikina Drive). Kunia Road 8.05 miles north from I-H1 to Route 99 was renumbered as Route 750.
