The entire 20-mile project was supposed to be completed in 2020 but legal challenges and other delays have pushed the completion date a year later. The project also faces a billion dollars in cost overruns -- costs that could continue to soar, especially if construction runs into further delays.

Report identifies worst traffic bottlenecks in Hawaii

The other congested area was located at the Halawa Interchange, the report said. In total, it’s estimated that these spots can cause a delay of more than 685,000 hours per year.

The two live in a transitional home in Wailuku run by Mental Health Kokua. The organization describes the home as a place where people with mental health needs can transition into the community….
