Summary:
A multi million-dollar realignment project that struggled to convert a dangerous, barely two-lane strip of pavement into a safe and modern highway for the public, the surrounding environment, and the United States Army, are described in this document. Struggles occurred as demonstrators protested against the proposed expansion of the Pohakuloa Training Area, (PTA), that would accommodate the training needs of the Army's planned Stryker Brigade Combat Team, a rapid-response mechanized infantry force.
